Champagne colored paper

Howdy all,

Can anyone suggest a champagne colored paper stock? I need something heavy – Lettra 220 kind of range – and preferably with matching envelopes. I’ve suggested Lettra in Ecru, but that’s too yellow.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
j

You could have this duplexed if you need it heavier

Thanks, Girl. Unfortunately they don’t want metallic. Any other suggestions? In heavy weights, all I can seem to find are whites or off-whites. The client doesn’t have the money to spend on duplexing.

Silly suggestion, from afar (as mine usually are before one of my fans gets in first) Attended an exhibition in glorious up state/downtown (whichever), London, recently!! Mounted By Monotype,*** of course. .Present was a representative from G. F. Smith (PAPER) whos publicity states, they source world wide, and quote “we believe this distinction has come from our long standing ties with world-renowned mills” etc etc. I have in front of me now their publicity pack, including 4 booklets at least 1” thick each with every colour, texture, weight etc that has been discussed recently on B.P. and many that have not.>>and many examples of embossing that will probably make self styled experts of late “spit feathers”??? Plus fold out colour charts (akin to Pantone, Manders, Ault & Wyborg, etc) incorporating in paper form! “apparently” every hue, from a Polar Bear in a Snow Storm to a pure Black Cat hiding in a coal hole/cellar. Possibly, as they advertise World Wide, you may just glean some good info from:- [email protected] or [email protected]. They may just have agents or distribution systems in the U.S.A. My Best Shot? if it be useless Apologies, AND I have no angle, They, G.F. Smith can NOT supply Monotype spool paper, I have good supply ex genuine Monotype anyway!!! It seems the possibly only option left for “the few” is to be nice to, Alleged, Italian Producers. >> MICK << **Exhibition Presented by one of your country men, working out of the original Monotype Factory in Salfords, Redhill, Surrey (ARCHIVES)>> 50 years and more, down the road, still learnt MORE! Exhibition was called Pencil to Pixels??? Thanks to Your Presenter.
