How it behaves in production

Real 100% cotton, uncoated with a soft toothy surface — treat like our cotton_32pt for feel, but render the specific colour (saturated cornflower blue).
Letterpress bites deep and clean — always fine on this stock. Foil (any colour) sits crisp on top. Blind emboss/deboss reads strong.
Core wedding + business-card stock — safe to propose as a default, especially for classical or restraint-led briefs.
Edge painting available at 32pt+ duplex construction only (this is 300gsm single-ply, ~14pt) — do not promise painted edges unless building a duplex.

Common questions

Is Gmund Cotton Gentlemen Blue dyed through?: Yes. The colour runs all the way through the sheet, so a cut, debossed, or die-cut edge shows the same saturated cornflower blue as the face — no white core.
Can you letterpress on Gmund Cotton Gentlemen Blue?: 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 Cotton Gentlemen Blue 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.
