Duplex & Triplex

Duplexing & Triplexing is the process of bonding together of two or three sheets of material to create unique and memorable printed communications. Popular as business cards and invitations, this is a great method to showcase your brand colours or increase thickness.

Duplexing uses two pieces of card which can either be the same colour to produce a seamless block or different coloured sheet to both sides to create unique product.

Triplexing uses three sheets. Again, these could be all the same material or alternatively use the same sheet top and bottom with a different coloured centre.
