Material
This is not your average buckram, it has a beautiful satin finish we have searched for endlessly. It has a satin varnish that allows it to be very robust and hard wearing. The thread that makes up the fabric is very fine making a smooth finish. It engraves in a crisp white tone and is quite smooth, not overly textured.
Design
This material works brilliantly with engraving and our Eco Foiling. It's smooth surface and even colour means it holds detail beautifully.

Material
This material has a rich leather like feel with a leather grain texture. A very matte finish with a realistic leather grain across the sheet. It is not a woven material and is part of our vegan leather range. When engraved the finish etches into the texture of the material and leaves a rich black.
Design
This material allows for amazing detail, but not much change in the colour. It engraves into the surface and the detail is seen in the light. Also amazing with Eco Foiling.

18. Oyster Metallic

72. Dusty Blue Silk

Engraving clarity / detail ★★★★☆
Price point: Included
Material
This metallic material is lushly matte and yet has a beautiful smooth finish. The colour is rich and clean across the sheet. The fine thread that makes up the fabric gives a smooth clean effect, even with the metallic sheen. When engraved the tone is a light cream, smooth and not overly textured, but struggles with fine detail somewhat.
Design
This material allows for good detail but very fine details will be compromised. It does well with simpler designs and nothing critical should be very small. However, amazing with Eco Foiling

Material
This material is a natural linen. It has deep texture and what can be sometimes called 'slubby' nature, meaning it has variation in the thickness of the thread that weaves the fabric.

Design
The engraving comes up creamy white but because of the chunky nature of this material it's most suited to designs and lettering with strong shapes. It will not show very small text detail well.
