Seawhite Recycled Kraft Card (325gsm)
The Sustainable, Heavy-Duty Standard for Structural Prototyping and Creative Crafts
Seawhite Recycled Kraft Card is a premium quality, natural material that has become a staple in architectural and craft modelling due to its sturdy, rigid nature and natural, professional aesthetic. Featuring a substantial 325gsm weight, it is widely popular for card making, packaging projects, structural prototypes, and block building massing models. The natural, matt surface features a subtle toothy texture that acts as a brilliant organic substrate for fine art media including ink, markers, and paint.
Key Performance Features
- Rigid and Heavyweight: The 325gsm thickness provides excellent structural integrity, making it ideal for self supporting models and detailed crafting without the risk of sagging.
- Versatile Surface Finish: The textured matt face is highly receptive to technical markings, paints, and inks, while remaining easy to cleanly cut, score, and fold.
- 100 Percent Eco-Friendly: Made entirely from 100 percent recycled materials, offering a sustainable, organic aesthetic that is highly favoured for professional design presentations.
- Consistent Sizing: Supplied in versatile A3 sheets, providing ample surface area for large scale layouts and architectural components.
Expert Model-Making Tips
- Precision Scoring: To achieve clean, sharp edges without tearing the paper fibres, always use a sharp craft knife alongside a steel metal ruler to lightly score one side of the card before folding it into position.
- Optimal Glue Selection: To prevent moisture warping, it is best to avoid highly wet adhesives such as standard liquid PVA. Instead, use evenly spaced spots of PVA, double sided tape, or quick bonding universal glues like UHU for flat, professional results.
- Topographical Layering: For terrain or contour modelling, this card is excellent for stacking to create height levels. For accurate topography, a helpful technique is to cut out your smallest landscape shapes first, then use them as steady templates to build downwards.
