Goatskin
Goatskin is a paper and board with even, mottled shading formed during papermaking. It has a natural feel, and it is durable and lightfast. It is used for certificates, important documents, food and beverage menus, wine lists, invitation cards and inserts, and other lifestyle materials.
There are 2 shades, Buff and White. Both come in 93gsm, 128gsm and 186gsm. White also comes in 256gsm, the heaviest weight, so a job at 256gsm needs White. The stock is sourced when an order is confirmed and quoted on size, weight, quantity and finishing.

Certificates, important documents, food and beverage menus, wine lists, invitation cards and inserts, and other lifestyle materials. It is durable and lightfast, with a natural feel.
How is the Goatskin mottling made?
The mottled shading is formed during the papermaking process, so it is part of the sheet rather than printed on. It is even across the paper and board.
