patterned paper

Printed wrapping material

Patterned paper is paper printed or embossed with a repeating decorative design—stripes, florals, geometrics, or other motifs.

It's used for gift wrapping, scrapbooking, origami, and craft projects: She chose a patterned paper with tiny gold stars for the invitation envelopes.

The term distinguishes decorated paper from plain or solid-colored stock.
