Introducing a totally new take on the classic paper swatch.

The GF Smith Colorplan Carabiner is a wearable swatch that can be clipped to bags, desks, or clothes, and hung up in studios, making it useful, accessible and versatile – functional as well as fun. 

60 colours, 25 embossings, 10 weights.

For the first time in years, we have reimagined the GF Smith Colorplan Collection to include more colours, finishes, and variety. Our carabiner showcases the rejuvenated collection in full, highlighting, in particular, the value of paper as a sustainable material with the addition of two new recycled paper ranges: GF Smith Colorplan Extracted and GF Smith Colorplan 50/50, alongside the flagship GF Smith Colorplan range you already know and love.

With a palette of new shades inspired by our archives and colour forecasting, Colorplan Extracted is made from 100% recycled fibres using 25% recycled paper cups. It is available in ten colours, two weights of 135gsm & 270gsm, and 25 embossings. 

Showcasing our most popular colours and weights, Colorplan 50/50 is made from 50% virgin fibres and 50% recycled fibres. It is available in six colours, two weights of 120gsm and 310gsm, and 25 embossings.

Designed to be a playful and hyper-useful paper specification tool, the Colorplan Carabiner paper leaves are removable. A perforation on each page allows for quick comparison of colours, weights, and products. The paper leaves hook onto a custom-made GF Smith zinc alloy carabiner, which can also be clipped onto your GF Smith tote bag for a perfect pairing.

The Colorplan Carabiner swatch features a GF Smith Offcut 540gsm front and back page - Offcut is a limited edition paper made entirely from our factory waste in Hull… more to be revealed on this one soon - and is packaged in a Colorflute box in two colour ways: Colorplan Lavender with Colorplan Bright Red or Colorplan Tabriz Blue with Colorplan Mandarin.

Functional, versatile, unmistakably GF Smith.
