Pearlescent Paper

Pearlescent Paper Overview

Pearlescent paper uses a reflective pigment layer to create a soft shimmer that changes with the viewing angle. Reference grammages range from 120 gsm to 350 gsm in white pearl, champagne, gold, silver and selected tinted finishes. It is used for invitations, cosmetic packaging, perfume inserts, cards and premium print. Ink reproduction, foil, embossing and adhesion should be validated on the selected color and grammage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a pearlescent surface affect printed colors?

The reflective base can change color density and appearance under different lighting. Light inks may need an opaque white underprint or a different artwork approach, so approve a printed sample on the chosen shade.

Can pearlescent paper be folded, embossed or foil stamped?

Selected grades support these processes, but cracking, foil adhesion and relief definition depend on grammage, surface coating, grain direction and tooling. A converting trial is recommended.

How should a buyer approve a pearlescent color?

Use a physical reference viewed under the intended lighting. Specify pearl tone, grammage, sheet or reel size, print and finishing process, quantity and destination port rather than relying only on a screen color.
