How it behaves in production
- Render as brushed anisotropic metal — grain reads horizontally under light.
- Colour on metal: prefer 1–3 spot-color silk-screen (higher impact); full-color UV print available as secondary.
- Pairs beautifully with mirror-polish sections on the same card (matte brushed field + mirror inlay/border) — signature combo.
Common questions
- Is Brushed metal dyed through?
- No. Brushed 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 metal?
- We do not recommend letterpress on Brushed 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 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.
