Tassotti, as the company is generally known, design and produce a wide variety of decorative papers, and many related products using them ~ notebooks ~ stationery sets ~ journals ~ boxes ~ origami kits ~ bookmarks.
Origins of the company date back to 1657, based at Bassano del Grappa in the north east of Italy. In 1957 Giorgio Rossi took charge of some aspects of the business, and this developed into Grafiche Tassotti, still operating as a family company in their production facility in Bassano.
This site is serving those involved in making hobby items, rather than the finished products, and so I concentrate on their base product - the decorative papers. They have a huge and varied range of several hundred designs. Invariably these are litho printed on 85gsm ivory paper and of size B1 [112034], which is large.
Tassotti papers are sold by several UK outlets, or direct from their base in Italy. If buying small quantities, especially from abroad, carriage and import costs can add expense. The size of the sheet required is also a huge consideration. Most UK stockists sell it by a folded sheet, some also stock and sell unfolded sheets, which have to be rolled in order to travel through the post or by carrier.
There is likely to be confusion over the use of the word
Another sad feature for purchasers of this paper is that the B4 size cannot be wrapped and posted as a Large Letter, since it will be too big by a fraction of a millimetre, especially if protective boards are used. I use the word sad because it all adds to expense, for an already fairly high priced ~ quality ~ product. On the plus side the weight allowance for a small parcel is considerable, so orders can be bulked-out with other items, if they are available from the same shop. Alternatively the B4 can be trimmed down slightly, if the seller is prepared to do that.
