foil paper

Metallic kitchen wrap

Foil paper is thin metallic sheeting used for wrapping, cooking, or crafts—typically aluminum foil.

The term is somewhat redundant since foil alone usually suffices, but foil paper emphasizes the paper-thin, flexible quality: Wrap the leftovers in foil paper.

In crafts, foil paper may refer to decorative metallic sheets for origami or gift wrapping.
