How it behaves in production
- Semi-transparent — whatever sits beneath reads softly through it. A vellum wrap is a layer, never a card in its own right.
- Ink sits on the surface and takes longer to cure; heavy coverage curls the sheet, so keep coverage light.
Common questions
- Is Translucent vellum dyed through?
- No. Translucent vellum 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 Translucent vellum?
- We do not recommend letterpress on Translucent vellum. 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 Translucent vellum in?
- 112 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.
