This metallic foil paper is a specialized substrate that combines a white paper backing with a vacuum-metallized layer. This composite structure provides a high degree of "fold memory," making it more effective for creating 3D stars and geometric shapes than standard construction paper. The 10-color assortment includes unique metallics like copper and fuchsia, offering a reflective finish for cards and invitations.
Specifications show the sheets are 8.5 x 10 inches, which is slightly shorter than standard letter paper. The paper backing (approx. 60-70 GSM) provides the structural rigidity needed for die-cutting in machines without the foil delaminating. Because the metallic surface is non-porous, water-based glues may take longer to dry; using dry adhesive tape or tacky glue can help the project bond more quickly and prevent slipping during assembly.
- High crease retention is helpful for intricate origami and three-dimensional crafts.
- 10 distinct metallic colors add a high-shine decorative element to projects.
- Durable backing allows for clean release in most standard die-cutters.
For large-scale school projects where a thicker, matte material is needed, the Colorations construction paper provides a wider format and different texture.
A well-organized craft room includes materials for every level of shine; discover more in the craft paper assorted sheets section.
