Starlight Transparent Paper

A translucent sheet with a fine starlit shimmer, used for jackets, wrap layers and invitation inserts.

Explanation

Fine sparkle is blended into a translucent base, so it stars when lit and shifts character over different underlayers. Design must count the layer beneath as part of the artwork; print with light ink films or single colour, and proof folds, which can show white cracks.
