OUGD503 - UK Greetings: Mock Ups

The recycled stock, White Rag 210gsm and Cairn Eco White 150gsm have been considered for the potential greetings cards stock. Upon testing them, they do look unique as they are both textured and coloured as the White Rag is a creamy/off white and the Cairn Eco White is a speckled grey. Both stock felt far too thin for a card even the 210gm White Rag. The texture and colour of both stock do slightly draw the attention away from the design too which is not ideal. The Cairn Eco White however does look interesting to be printed on but white stock will probably look better than these two.

Both stocks have also been considered as the envelops too as it would still make the collection sustainable if recycled stock is considered. The White Rag looks better than the Cairn Eco White as the envelope as it looks warmer and uplifting but the Carin Eco White looks dull as it is a grey colour.
