Frequently Asked Questions
What printing methods work on black paper?
Printing on black paper usually requires an opaque process such as screen printing, UV ink, opaque white ink, metallic ink or hot foil stamping. The ink system and finish should be tested on the selected grade before production.
Will the cut edge remain black?
Through-dyed grades are designed to retain a dark edge after cutting or folding. Buyers should confirm whether the selected grade is through-dyed or laminated heavy board when edge appearance is critical.
Can black paper be supplied in sheets or reels?
Yes. Sheet and reel supply is available by grade. Send the grammage, dimensions, fibre preference, finishing process and quantity per size for confirmation.
