Paper stocks Munken and Sirio

Summary

A second paper-stocks page covering two uncoated stocks for menus and tickets, one light and one a near-black card.

Visual description

Warm off-white (#F7F3EC) page with the "Appendix / Stocks and Finishes" header and "Paper stocks", page 202. Two spec cards sit under captioned hairlines. The left soft-white card, labelled "Arctic Paper", reads "MUNKEN / Pure Rough", recommended for menus and tickets, menus 200gsm, tickets 250gsm, with an available-weights list. The right card is near-black (#15151E), labelled "Fedrigoni", reading "SIRIO / Ultra Black" in white, also for menus and tickets, menus 260gsm, tickets 290gsm. Both carry the same grey rationale copy about the uncoated finish needing spot PMS colours and a varnish. The dark card itself demonstrates the Ultra Black stock.

Key takeaway

Rendering the dark stock's card in actual near-black is a neat self-demonstrating move, the page shows the material while specifying it. Keeping the card structure identical to the previous stocks page maintains a consistent specification language across the appendix.

Reuse notes

Reuse alongside the first paper-stocks page for any production appendix that recommends multiple stocks by use case. The trick of colouring a card to match its stock works for dark or coloured papers. Consistent fields (supplier, use, weights) across both pages keep the materials section coherent.
