How it behaves in production
- Cordenons Wild — 100%-uncoated felt-textured paper (warm putty sand). Warm, matte, painterly surface.
- Letterpress bites clean and deep on this light uncoated stock. Foil sits crisp. Blind emboss/deboss reads strong.
- Core-adjacent tier — a natural alternative to cotton when the brief wants a slightly warmer, more rustic surface.
Common questions
- Is Wild Sand dyed through?
- Yes. The colour runs all the way through the sheet, so a cut, debossed, or die-cut edge shows the same warm putty sand as the face — no white core.
- Can you letterpress on Wild Sand?
- 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 Sand 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.
