- Black coating over brushed steel — the grain still reads through the black under raking light.
- Laser marks cut to bright silver; that silver-on-black contrast is the whole design.
Common questions
- Is Brushed black metal dyed through?
- No. Brushed black metal 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 Brushed black metal?
- We do not recommend letterpress on Brushed black metal. 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 Brushed black metal in?
- Weight on request. 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.
