How it behaves in production
- Kraft is honest, warm, workwear — pair with copper/black/white foils only.
- Never render as slick — the surface is fibrous and unbleached.
Common questions
- Is Kraft natural 18pt dyed through?
- No. Kraft natural 18pt is not a dyed-through sheet, so a cut edge will not match the printed face. If you need a coloured edge on this stock we add painted edging as a separate operation.
- Can you letterpress on Kraft natural 18pt?
- Yes — it is one of the techniques we run on this stock. Letterpress ink is semi-translucent, so on darker shades it reads tone-on-tone; on light shades it prints as expected.
- What weights do you stock Kraft natural 18pt in?
- 18pt. Heavier weights can usually be duplexed to order — ask and we will confirm before quoting.
- Can I see it before I order?
- Yes, and you should. Screens flatten texture and shift colour. We send physical samples of any stock in this directory before you commit.
