Question
Is metallic printing good for outdoor use?
Answer
Metallic paper stock is made for indoor pieces. It delivers its shimmer beautifully on printed goods but is not built to weather sun and moisture.
- Great indoor uses include business cards, labels, bookmarks, hang tags, and flyers
- It is not intended for outdoor signage or weather-exposed materials
- For outdoor jobs, a vinyl or synthetic substrate handles moisture and UV far better
Keep metallic where people can hold and admire it, and switch to a weatherproof material for anything that lives outside.
