Metallic paper
Metallic papers (sometimes known by the generic trademark Stardream) are usually thick (100 gsm and more) and have a shiny finish. The thickness makes them well-suited for folding boxes, corrugations and other models which require stiff paper, but it also makes it difficult to fold small details. The glittery surface looks very attractive in real life but is somewhat difficult to photograph.
Ilan Garibi reviewed Stardream paper and you can apply his findings to other manufacturers’ metallic papers to a large degree, but take note that details and general quality do vary.
