- Flat digital / offset
How it behaves in production
- Silk = subtle satin laminate — smooth uniform coated surface, diffuse reflections. Not matte, not gloss.
- Plastic laminate coating — NO fabric, velvet, suede, felt, or nap texture. Any visible surface texture is wrong.
- Spot UV on silk is quieter than on soft-touch — recommend when the brief wants restraint.
Common questions
- Is Silk matte 16pt dyed through?
- No. Silk matte 16pt 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 Silk matte 16pt?
- We do not recommend letterpress on Silk matte 16pt. For light type on this stock we use foil stamping instead, which is opaque and sits cleanly on the surface.
- What weights do you stock Silk matte 16pt in?
- 16pt (~400gsm). 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.
