How it behaves in production
- Render as true mirror — reflects environment cleanly, no brushed grain.
- Most impactful when combined with brushed metal on the same card (matte + mirror combo).
Common questions
- Is Mirror-polished metal dyed through?
- No. Mirror-polished 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 Mirror-polished metal?
- We do not recommend letterpress on Mirror-polished 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 Mirror-polished 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.
