How it behaves in production
- Gmund Bier Lager — pale oat cream with fine brown and grey grain fleck. Uncoated 300gsm stock milled with spent lager grain. Render the visible spent-grain husk particles suspended in the sheet: irregular, low-contrast, scattered — never a clean flat colour and never a printed pattern.
- PULP-COLOURED THROUGH — a cut edge, a die-cut aperture and a rounded corner all come back the same colour as the face. Never render a white core at the edge.
- Dark inks letterpress cleanly and foil sits crisp; the impression reads deeper than on a smooth sheet because the tooth flattens under the bite.
- INCLUSION-BEARING SHEET: hairlines under 0.5pt and type under 6pt break where they cross a particle. Keep strokes generous and type solid.
- NO 4-COLOUR PROCESS on this stock — no photographic imagery, fine screens or gradients. The surface eats them. Solid ink, foil, letterpress and blind deboss only.
- Uncoated and slightly rough — never described as coated, glossy, pearlescent or smooth.
Common questions
- Is Gmund Bier Lager dyed through?
- Yes. The colour runs all the way through the sheet, so a cut, debossed, or die-cut edge shows the same pale oat cream with fine brown and grey grain fleck as the face — no white core.
- Can you letterpress on Gmund Bier Lager?
- 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 Gmund Bier Lager in?
- 300 gsm. 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.
