Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between metallic and pearlescent gold envelopes?
Metallic gold envelopes have a mirror-like reflective surface created by a foil or vacuum-deposited metallic coating — the classic "shiny" gold look. Pearlescent gold envelopes have a softer iridescent shimmer created by mica pigment coating — warmer, more elegant and less reflective than metallic. Metallic finishes are more eye-catching; pearlescent finishes are better suited to formal occasions such as weddings and luxury invitations.

Can gold envelopes be printed on?
Printability depends on the finish. Lightly tinted gold paper envelopes typically accept inkjet and laser printing. Metallic and pearlescent coated surfaces are generally not compatible with standard inkjet or laser printing — the coating prevents ink adhesion. For addressed gold envelopes, hand addressing or a gold/white self-adhesive label is recommended.
