does anyone know of some kind of paper or card that can be sort of moulded or shaped to be freestanding? this is kinda hard to explain, but almost as if you have metal wire through it so when you bend it in a direction, it will stay there??
big ask i know.
cheers if anyone can help.

I had some once but cannot for the life of me remember the name of it, but if all else fails buy a heat reflector for stoves form Tisos or another reputable climbing store and you can paint it, it is basically thin composite metal....... could you go to a metal works instead.

sorry buddy it was not paper it was plastic, plastic coated. I seem to remember it was actually for a piece of equipment but we never used it but essentially it was the same, sorry for missleading you.

cheers chossy.
and thanks Mx too!!yeh i think i may have to take a trip to some printer somewhere. it cant really be metal because its for a print job. I guess i need some sort of stock with some kind of tin metal inlay or some magical imaginary stock ive dreamt up last night which will never exist...haha

what about printing onto metal or is it completely not the right kind of feel for your project....

umm never really thought of it.
i guess it may just be a little expensive for what it is. Its for the studio xmas card. i'll definately check it out though.

what about screen printing onto metal hey that would be rad, I don't think it would be too expensive to buy the metal and cut it just order it form a merchants then ask a school or college to cut it they might do it for free....

thats an idea.
what sort of metal are we talking?? i havent really seen or heard of this kind of thing?

I guess it would be a composite metal, you could even cut it your self with a guilotine or scissors. Not sure of the exact name of the stuff but I could find out tonight and email you, I know a couple of people what would be able to give the exact names of types of metal to use.

you can get that non-reflective black metal that they use on film sets to shape lights.
but there must be paper stock for this to make my favourite cheesy embossed notebooks with dogs on them? need to ask a print bureau about injection moulds mebbe?
