metallic paper

Reflective gift covering

Metallic paper is paper with a shiny, reflective surface that mimics the appearance of metal—gold, silver, copper, or other lustrous finishes.

It's used for gift wrapping, invitations, packaging, and craft projects where a glossy, eye-catching effect is desired: The wedding invitations were printed on silver metallic paper.
