Artway Enviro Recycled A1 Black Card - 270gsm - 50 Sheets

Nice card with a good thickness, ideal for use as a backing for something else or drawing/painting straight on to.It will take white gel pen, white conté pencil and wax based pencils well, is quite smooth but has enough of a texture to show pencil lines nicely. It also handles gouache quite well, I tested it with Winsor Newton designers white gouache and it stood up to a reasonable amount of wetting with little to no buckling either. Would probably take acrylic as well if it was thinned.Eraser resistance is good. No visible fibres or fraying when I attacked it with plastic and rubber erasers. Barely marked the surface.Thickness as stated. About the thickness of a good quality playing card.Folding by hand is OK - it's card. Makers will no doubt be using scoring tools or cutting it for modelling etc.Blackness. I'd say this card is around 80% black on the value scale. I put Winsor Newton India ink on this and could see it, so not 100% black but still very black. That said, all pieces in the pack were consistent. In contrast to a lighter layer on top you wouldn't notice.Product was packaged in thick paper wrapping and taped together (two blocks of 100 sheets, A4). However the Amazon packing didn't have anything around it - no extra paper or bubble wrap etc. Fortunately there were no dents and it wasn't dropped.Would buy this again.

Given it was recycled , I was not initially sure how the A1 card would turn out - but there was no need to worry! It was excellent A1 card, more than sufficiently strong to bear the weight of the lace I pinned to it and stored in an A1 folder, and who today could object to the principle of recycling materials!

Great for what I needed made a great banner sturdy enough and not to heavy

Excellent quality card for craft.

I ordered 100 sheets of this sized at A3 because I sandwich my drawings using this when I ship them to customers as an added layer of protection. The card arrived in great condition, packaged up nicely and does the job I need it to do perfectly well. It’s reasonably thick and feels like a quality product. When I run out of it I will definitely be ordering some more
