This Lokta Paper in a Green Cotton colour is a handcrafted paper made from the inner bark of the Lokta bush, a fast-growing shrub native to the Himalayan region of Nepal.
Each sheet, sized 51x76 cm, is individually handmade by skilled artisans using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. The result is a durable, richly textured paper in a soft, earthy green cotton tone, ideal for a wide range of creative and commercial uses.
This paper is not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible. Unlike wood-based paper, Lokta paper is produced from a renewable source that regenerates naturally within a few years after harvesting. Its production supports sustainable forestry practices and contributes to rural employment in Nepal, empowering local communities and preserving traditional crafts.
With its strength and flexibility, Lokta paper can be used for a variety of purposes. Retailers will appreciate its natural elegance for gift wrapping, product packaging, or in-store displays, while customers can enjoy it for scrapbooking, bookbinding, collage, origami, or handmade cards.
The unique texture and natural fibers of each sheet bring an organic character that enhances any artistic or commercial application. Using paper like this helps reduce environmental impact while supporting fair trade and traditional artisan industries.

How to use
Handling: Handle Lokta paper gently with clean, dry hands to preserve its delicate fibers and natural texture. Cutting: Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for clean edges. The paper cuts smoothly but may fray slightly at the edges due to its natural fibers—this adds to its handcrafted charm. Adhesives and Inks: Use acid-free glue or adhesive tapes to avoid discoloration. Test inks and paints on a small corner first, as the textured surface may absorb differently than regular paper. Crafting Uses: Perfect for scrapbooking, bookbinding, card making, collage, origami, gift wrapping, and decorative projects. Its natural fibers and texture bring a unique, organic touch to every creation. Storage: Store flat or rolled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to keep it pristine. Environmental Care: Lokta paper is biodegradable and eco-friendly—dispose of scraps responsibly or recycle where possible.
