How it behaves in production
- Real copper — warm orange-brown, deeper and redder than gold plating.
- Copper patinas with handling; render it as a living surface, not a flat swatch.
Common questions
- Is Copper metal dyed through?
- No. Copper 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 Copper metal?
- We do not recommend letterpress on Copper 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 Copper 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.
