metallized

Given metallic finish

Metallized describes something coated or treated with a thin layer of metal.

The process gives non-metallic materials—plastics, fabrics, paper—a shiny, reflective surface: metallized balloons, metallized film for packaging.

The coating may serve decorative or functional purposes, such as blocking light or conducting electricity.

Also spelled metallised in British English.
