CHENHUI · Standard Metallic (M series)
Metallic Green
Metallised tint foil from CHENHUI's Standard Metallic (M series) line. Our everyday bright metallic. On coated and uncoated paper at accent coverage this is what most Print Peppermint foil work is actually stamped with.
- Botanical registers
- Deep jewel accents
The colour shown is an on-screen approximation. Foil reflects its surroundings and has no fixed RGB value — samples before you commit.

What it's like to run
- At accent coverage on paper, nobody can tell this from Kurz in the hand. That is the whole argument for it.
- It wants a little more dwell and a little more pressure, so on thin or damp stock we watch for curl.
- Batch variation is real — we buy the whole run's foil at once rather than topping up mid-job.
