Economy Paper

The Industry Standard for Educational & Independent Animation

Chromacolour’s 60gsm ACME Punched Economy Animation Paper is the go to choice for animation universities, colleges, and independent studios worldwide. Made to provide a professional experience at an accessible price point, this white translucent paper offers the perfect equilibrium between durability and transparency.

Whether you are practicing basic in-betweening or executing complex character movements, our 60gsm weight allows for clear visibility through up to four layers on a lightbox. The 3 Pin ACME punched holes, used together with our pegbars ensure registration remains precise from the first rough to the final clean-up.

Key Performance Features

• Precision ACME 3-Pin Punching: Every sheet is punched to exacting standards, ensuring flawless compatibility with standard ACME peg bars and lightboxes.

• Superior Surface "Tooth": We have developed a refined surface texture that provides just the right amount of pencil resistance. This ensures excellent graphite pickup and a satisfying drawing experience.

• Exceptional "Flick" Control: The paper is crisp yet flexible, specifically designed to withstand the rigours of traditional "flicking" without losing its shape or integrity.

• Sustainable Manufacturing: Our paper is environmentally friendly. We meticulously select raw materials and additives to minimise environmental impact, supporting a legacy of quality for future generations.
