Small Format Material - Pearl Oyster Paper
Is Pearl Oyster paper glossy?
No. It has a subtle shimmer with a warm tone, so it catches the light without looking like a high gloss coated paper.
Will colours look different on Pearl Oyster paper?
Yes. The light reflective surface can make colours appear slightly lighter or more luminous than on standard white paper, so clean layouts and restrained colour palettes tend to work best.
What other pearl paper options do you offer?
Alongside Pearl Polar, we also offer Pearl Polar from the Sirio Pearl range, which delivers a cooler pearl tone with the same subtle shimmer.
What weight is Pearl Oyster paper available in?
Pearl Oyster is available in 300 gsm. This heavier weight offers excellent rigidity and a luxury feel, making it ideal for high-quality printed items.
Pearl Oyster paper is a premium pearlescent paper stock with warm tones and a subtle shimmer through the surface. It reflects light gently to add depth and movement, creating an elegant finish that feels refined rather than glossy. It is often chosen for luxury print where presentation matters, such as wedding stationery, invitations and greeting cards.
Pearl Osyter paper is made from paper fibres, then coated with pearlescent pigments to give it a pearl like sheen. The base sheet may include mineral additives to improve whiteness, opacity and smoothness.
Recyclable Pearl Polar paper is created using pigments or coatings rather than plastic or foil, allowing it to be processed through standard recycling streams.
Responsibly sourced fibre FSC® certified, ensuring virgin pulp is sourced from responsibly managed and sustainable forests.
Chlorine-free bleaching Produced using an Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) process, without the use of elemental chlorine.
It works especially well for designs using minimal colour palettes, fine typography, or delicate illustration.
Yes. For more pearlescent options, look at Sirio Pearl Polar, which offers a cooler shade and finish. If you want texture instead of pearl, consider Tintoretto Gesso for a felt marked hammered texture, or Splendorgel Avorio for a smooth, velvety ivory uncoated sheet.
