100% Cotton Textured Ivory – SRA3 Card

Description

This lovely, thick card is a creamy, off white colour and it has a textured finish. It’s luxurious and feels substantial in your hands.

This colour is available in card with two different texture options (textured and smooth, or to be more precise very lightly textured), paper and envelopes in different sizes to suit the needs of your project.

SRA3 is slightly larger than A3 and is a standard printer’s size, mainly used when you want your printing to go all the way to the edge of the page. Since most digital printers can’t do that, you need to print on larger paper with overhang or ‘bleed’ and cut it back to the right size afterwards.

The 100% Cotton range is special, it has a slightly different feel to normal paper, it’s stronger, won’t go yellow over time and is guaranteed to last at least 100 years if handled properly. Traditionally this range would have been made from old cotton rags, but today it’s made from cotton linters which are a byproduct from the textile manufacturing industry that might otherwise be thrown away. This beautiful, cotton card also comes in white.

Printer’s notes

This card is suitable for printing with a laser printer and an inkjet, but we always recommend testing your specific machine first. It is quite thick, so some home printers might have difficulty pulling it through and this size is not likely to fit your home machine, but A4 is a sure bet. If in doubt, your local digital printing specialist should have no problem printing on this card.

100% Cotton is also suitable for letterpress, embossing, foiling and silk screen printing, but as always, please test your chosen treatment.

Notes from our team

100% Cotton is probably the most luxurious range that we have available because there’s something really special about how it feels in your hands – it’s soft and rough at the same time. It’s absolutely stunning for invitations but we also have lots of customers who use this stock for it’s archival qualities, because if it’s handled and stored properly, it’s not going to change for at least 100 years. – Serena
