How it behaves in production
- ONE piece of metal carrying TWO finishes — bead-blast/matte field with mirror-polished mark or border. Never two laminated sheets.
- The whole effect is the contrast under light: the matte stays dead while the mirror throws highlights as the card turns.
- Dramatic and expensive-looking; propose it when the brief asks for impact rather than restraint.
Common questions
- Is Two-finish metal — matte field + mirror inlay dyed through?
- No. Two-finish metal — matte field + mirror inlay 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 Two-finish metal — matte field + mirror inlay?
- We do not recommend letterpress on Two-finish metal — matte field + mirror inlay. 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 Two-finish metal — matte field + mirror inlay 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.
