The stock room
Choose how it feels.
Every sheet, colour and finish changes the way the card receives light and meets the hand.
Materials & Finishes
Premium isn't a word here — it's a weight, a bite, a sheen you can feel. This is what your card is made of.
Papers
Cotton stocks from Gmund and comparable mills — soft, warm and substantial, in weights from a confident 300gsm to a duplexed 600gsm and beyond.
Choose colour and texture, or duplex two sheets to bury a coloured core that shows only at the edge. Heavier isn't a gimmick — it's the first thing a hand notices.
Finishes
Hot-foil
Metallic and pigment foils stamped under heat and pressure — gold, copper, blind white, oxblood.
Blind emboss & deboss
Raised or recessed detail with no ink — texture you read with your fingertips.
Letterpress
The deep, tactile bite of type pressed into soft cotton stock. The oldest trick, still the best.
Edge painting & gilding
Colour or metal leaf applied to the card edge — a line of surprise when it's turned.
Spot UV & gloss
A high-shine varnish on selected areas against a matte ground; light does the work.
Laser detail
Fine cut-through and etched detail for filigree and monograms too delicate to print.
Duplex & coloured core
Two sheets bonded around a coloured core — oxblood, olive or gold — a seam that shows only at the edge.

Design your own →Inks & colour
CMYK for photographic richness, spot colours for exact brand matches, and metallics mixed into the ink itself. We proof colour before we commit it to cotton.
The anatomy of a card: stock, duplex core, printed layer, finish and edge — five decisions that together decide how it feels in the hand.
