    How it behaves in production

    • Materica — pale seafoam / soft aqua. Cotton + wool/algae fibre blend with a chunky natural texture.
    • Letterpress bites deep and clean. Foil sits crisp. Blind emboss/deboss reads strong against the fibre.
    • Statement tier — never a default; strong for architecture, spa/wellness, art-world briefs wanting soft colour with raw texture.

    Common questions

    Is Materica Acqua dyed through?
    Yes. The colour runs all the way through the sheet, so a cut, debossed, or die-cut edge shows the same pale seafoam / soft aqua as the face — no white core.
    Can you letterpress on Materica Acqua?
    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 Materica Acqua in?
    250 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.

    Materica Acqua + CHENHUI Matte Silver

    CHENHUI Matte Silver reads clean on Materica Acqua — the textured surface gives the die something to bite, and the pale seafoam / soft aqua ground keeps the metal from going brassy.
