FAQs

Is this card suitable for children?

Yes, the card is recommended for both adult and child crafters. Its flexibility makes it easier for younger hands to manipulate than some stiffer cardstocks.

Can I print on this card?

It is generally not recommended to print on this metallic foil card using standard inkjet or laser printers, as the metallic surface can lead to smudging, poor print quality, or damage to the printer.

How many sheets are in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 sheets of A4 metallic foil card.

What are the dimensions of the card?

The card sheets are A4 size, measuring 21 cm wide and 29.7 cm long.

What is the weight of the card?

The card has a weight of 280 gsm (grams per square meter), which is considered a medium to heavy cardstock.

Can this card be used outdoors?

While recommended for indoor use, the durable nature of the card may allow for temporary outdoor use in dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh weather is not advised.

Does the metallic finish wear off?

The metallic foil is durable and generally does not wear off with normal crafting use. Avoid excessive abrasion or moisture, which could affect the finish over time.

Troubleshooting

Card cracks when folded sharply.

Score the cardstock along the fold line before bending. While flexible, very sharp or repeated folds in the same spot can still cause stress. Ensure you are folding with the metallic side facing outwards for less chance of cracking.

Adhesive is not holding well.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive. Use a strong craft glue or double-sided tape specifically designed for paper crafts. For very secure bonds, consider using a small amount of hot glue, applied carefully.

Fingerprints or smudges on the surface.

Handle the card with clean hands or cotton gloves. If smudges occur, try to gently wipe them away with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids, as they can stain the metallic finish.
