Question
What exactly is metallic pearl paper?
Answer
Metallic pearl paper has a pearlescent coating worked into the fibers, giving the whole surface a soft, iridescent shimmer. Unlike foil stamping or spot UV, the shimmer is part of the paper rather than something applied on top.
- The effect is consistent across the entire sheet, not just in select spots.
- It stays visible from every angle as light shifts.
- It is durable, since there is no separate foil layer to peel or crack.
Metallic pearl is often printed on ultra-thick stock, which adds rigidity and a premium, weighty feel in the hand.
