contact paper

Sticky shelf covering

Contact paper is adhesive-backed material, typically vinyl or plastic, used to line shelves, cover surfaces, or create decorative finishes.

It comes on a roll with a peel-off backing: She covered the old cabinets with marble-patterned contact paper.

The name comes from the adhesive making contact with surfaces without additional glue.
