The story
Curious Translucents are true translucent papers: you can read what is beneath them, yet they print, fold and foil like paper rather than film. There are two shades, Clear and a frosted Bright White, with Clear running from 80 gsm up to a rigid 320 gsm. They are fully recyclable, FSC certified and food-contact approved, which makes them a useful plastic alternative. We reach for them as invitation overlays, belly bands, envelope liners and cover wraps that reveal a printed layer underneath.
