Gmund Les Naturals
This premium card collection is made from 100% recycled wastepaper materials - it's both good looking and good for the environment! With beautiful rich, and sophisticated neutral colours available, Gmund Les Naturals has a super-matt, heavy natural texture with visible plant flecks and inclusions. The range is made at Gmund Paper's French mill Cartonnerie Jean FG.
Environment
Recycled paper doesn't require fresh wood and wastes less energy and water. Gmund Les Naturals is 100% recycled.
The wastepaper used to create Gmund Les Naturals is collected from areas close to the mill and sorted by colour to make the recycling process as efficient as possible.
The energy-intensive bleaching process (de-inking process) is intentionally avoided.
Gmund Les Naturals has been awarded the German government’s eco-label 'Blue Angel' for its exceptional environmental production standards.
The Blue Angel eco-label guarantees that a product with the same quality and usability has a lower impact on the environment and climate. Particular attention is paid to resource-saving production (water, energy, recycled) materials) and sustainable raw material extraction.
The Gmund range is also vegan, acid free and pH neutral.

Surface
Gmund Les Naturals is characterised by the super-matt, heavily textured feel of natural card with varying plant flecks and coloured inclusions on both sides. One side is more textured than the other. Subtle colour and texture differences may be noticed between sheets due to the type of recycled material used and avoidance of bleach in production.
Peterkin Printery suitability/availability
330gsm and 660gsm: Digital CMYK, digital white, digital gold and silver (depending on stock colour)*. Hot Foil Press, Letterpress and Blind embossing.
*Because Gmund Les Naturals is a heavily textured stock, the amount of toner fusing onto the raw and inconsistent surface varies from print to print. So, you may notice that fine detail and smaller / thinner fonts can look faded or patchy. While this effect works well with the aesthetic of Gmund Les Naturals, if you’re looking for a more polished and crisp result please consider digital printing on a smoother stock. Slight variation between prints is a normal result on this stock and not a fault (each piece is unique and adds to the natural charm of this beautiful stock!)
We highly recommend a sample print to test your design.
Every card and paper stock we sell has been tested for its printing suitability on Peterkin’s in-house digital printers and Heidelberg commercial presses. This means that if we offer printing on a particular stock, you’re covered by the Peterkin Printery Guarantee.
Printing this paper or card with other commercial or domestic digital print machines
If you choose to purchase our paper or card stocks to print elsewhere, we cannot guarantee the printed results. Paper is a natural, delicate product which will always vary slightly batch to batch and every printer/press is different. Many 'home' printers aren’t suitable for printing on textured stocks or thicker than 120gsm, so we strongly recommend test printing first.
Sheet sizes
