Animation Cel 12 Field

The Industry Standard for Traditional Animation

Chromacolour 12 Field Animation Cels are the definitive choice for artists, students, and professionals working in traditional 2D animation. Measuring 267mm x 330mm, this format is widely regarded as the industry workhorse, offering the perfect canvas for classic cartoon characters and traditional hand-painted production. Whether you are creating a professional short or a gallery-worthy piece of cel art, the 12 Field size delivers the consistent, reliable performance expected of a studio-grade medium.

Choose Your Registration Setup

We offer our premium 175-micron cel stock either punched or unpunched to seamlessly integrate with your project:

• Punched (ACME Standard): Precision punched 3-pin ACME registration holes. Ready for immediate use with Chromacolour Peg Bars and Animation Discs, ensuring absolute frame-to-frame stability and seamless layer stacking.

• Unpunched: A clean, edge-to-edge sheet. This is the perfect choice for artists working with alternative registration systems or using the cels as a canvas for fine art, mixed-media, or display pieces.

Uncompromising Professional Quality

We manufacture our 12 Field cels to the highest professional standards, ensuring that every sheet provides a consistent, high-performance surface for your Cel Paint:

• Optimal 175-Micron Gauge: This specific thickness strikes the perfect balance between structural rigidity and flexibility. It remains firm enough to lay flat during painting while ensuring the crystal-clear transparency required for professional multi-plane compositing or digitalisation.

• Meticulous Protection: To safeguard your artwork, every 100-sheet pack is interleaved with professional-grade tissue paper. This protective layer prevents static, micro-scratches, and dust build-up, ensuring your painting surface remains pristine from the first sheet to the last.
