[Cohoes, NY— October 24, 2018] Mohawk Fine Papers, Inc., North America’s largest privately-owned manufacturer of fine papers, envelopes and specialty materials for commercial and digital printing, announces the addition of 15 new colors to the Metallics line, and an innovative new metallic finish called Alchemy to the iconic Curious Collection by Arjowiggins Creative Papers. Since December 2015, Mohawk has been the exclusive North American distributor for this incredibly beautiful line of fine papers for premium print and packaging. True to an unwavering dedication to materials, Mohawk, in partnership with Arjowiggins Creative Papers, introduces the most comprehensive portfolio of color and special finishes in the updated Curious Collection.
The refresh to the Curious Collection grade is the result of an extensive review of color palettes and finishes. The resulting updates to the portfolio include:
- Addition of 15 new colors to Curious Collection Metallics
- Launch of an innovative new line: Curious Collection Alchemy
- Discontinuation of Curious Collection Cosmic
“The work done by Arjowiggins Creative Papers to update the Curious Collection is thoughtful and carefully conceived,” says Mike Madura, VP, Product Development and Management at Mohawk. “Curious Metallics new color palette is both timeless, very in-the-moment and the new Alchemy is evidence that the team at Arjowiggins are leaders in sophisticated papermaking innovation.”
Curious Collection Metallics
The refreshed line of the well-established Curious Collection Metallics now offers a total of 31 design-friendly colors, including 15 brand new shades. Now more than ever, this portfolio of text and cover weight papers are the perfect choice for projects across the print and packaging spectrum that benefit from an added metallic shimmer. This offering is now composed of the following colors:

This exciting, updated range of colors and finishes can be seen in the brand new Mohawk Curious Collection swatchbook available early November 2018.
