How it behaves in production
- Cordenons Wild — 100%-uncoated felt-textured colored paper (warm chocolate brown). Reads matte and painterly, never coated or shiny.
- Letterpress goes tone-on-tone only (dark stock — ink darkens). Foil is the hero technique — metallic foils pop against the matte felt.
- Blind emboss/deboss reads strong on the felt surface. Core-adjacent tier — safe to propose alongside cotton when the brief wants colour without gloss.
- White pigment ink or foil for any legibility-critical text.
Common questions
- Is Wild Brown dyed through?
- Yes. The colour runs all the way through the sheet, so a cut, debossed, or die-cut edge shows the same warm chocolate brown as the face — no white core.
- Can you letterpress on Wild Brown?
- Yes — it is one of the techniques we run on this stock. Letterpress ink is semi-translucent, so on darker shades it reads tone-on-tone; on light shades it prints as expected.
- What weights do you stock Wild Brown in?
- 285 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.
