While a bawdy, gaudy metallic may be just the look you’re after, there are times when you’d rather sparkle demurely. The shiny surface of Gmund Colors Subtil (subtil … subtle … get it?) with its fine, micro-embossed mica surface on one side gives off a soft metallic glimmer that creates a softly chic, elegantly understated impression.

Imported from Germany's Gmund Paper Mill, this brand new line of metallic card stock is now readily available in the United States through LCI Paper.

Subtil is offered in nine shades of heavyweight 111lb. cover stock (310 grams) in a variety of sizes including full sheets and cut sizes. Subtil papers coordinate with LCI's selection of Gmund Colors stationery and envelopes as well as Contact Colors Vellum.

The special metallic surface makes this paper unsuitable for inkjet or laser printing, but other printing techniques such as engraving and offset printing work wonderfully.
