Graphic Metallic Foils

Graphic Metallic Foils provide an easy way to add sparkle and shine to your decorative painting projects. Graphic Metallic Foils are made from a thin layer of non-reactive metallic sheets that are fused to clear film/plastic/paper. These shiny foils can be transferred to your surface using water-based or oil-based Gilding Size. Unlike true Metal Leaf for gilding, graphic metallic foils will not tarnish and come in a wide variety of colors: metallics, rainbow colors, and holographic foils. Our graphic metallic paper sheets are crafted from superior quality paper, which can be easily cut, folded, printed, and pasted. The poster board is made of ultra-durable and fade-resistant card stock, so the shine of papers will not fade or wear down easily.
