Metallic Silver Cardstock

Metallic Silver Cardstock is a specialty paperboard distinguished by its metallic sheen. It is constructed from a highbasisweight pulp substrate, coated with a fine silver metallic layer through a specialized process, resulting in a distinctive silver luster and texture. This product offers high stiffness and a smooth surface while maintaining good printability, making it suitable for various postpress finishing techniques. The metallic effect is inherent to the material, not achieved through standard ink, ensuring durable and uniform gloss.

Usage & Storage Guidelines
 Printing Recommendation: Conduct a test print prior to largearea ink coverage to determine adhesion and drying time. UVcurable or specialty inks formulated for metallic surfaces are recommended.
 Finishing Note: Use sharp dies and adjust pressure appropriately during diecutting or scoring to achieve clean edges and minimize coating cracking.
 Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent warping or coating oxidation. Flat storage is advised, avoiding heavy stacking.
 Environmental Note: The substrate is recyclable. However, due to the metallic coating, consult local recycling guidelines for proper disposal classification.
