Why Atlanta Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Specialty Paper
Specialty Paper — Unique Surface Materials That Make Packaging Immediately Distinctive
Specialty papers are the packaging designer's palette expansion — materials that go beyond the functional clarity of coated white board to create surface experiences that are immediately distinctive. Pearlescent paper with iridescent shimmer. Metallic paper with mirror-bright reflectivity. Linen-textured paper with fabric-like tactile quality. Hammered paper with dimensional surface depth. These materials communicate brand positioning through the substrate itself, before print, finish, or structure contribute anything.
At Branded Boxes, specialty papers are primarily used for rigid box wrapping — the paper applied over the greyboard core. They are also used for premium folding carton production, luxury hang tags, and specialty packaging inserts where the material itself is the primary brand signal.
Specialty Paper Categories and Applications
Pearlescent papers use mica pigments for iridescent color-shift — used for bridal, beauty, and premium gift packaging. Metallic papers have aluminum foil laminated to a paper base for mirror-bright metallic surfaces — used for holiday, luxury, and high-impact brand packaging. Textured papers (linen, felt, ribbed, hammered) have built-in surface texture — used for natural brands, premium stationery, and artisan products. Duplex papers laminate two different papers together for distinct front/back aesthetic combinations — used for sophisticated brand packaging with inside-outside design differentiation.
Specialty Paper Printing Considerations
Printing on specialty papers requires technical expertise specific to each material type. Metallic papers have reflective surfaces that complicate color management — print appears differently under different light sources. Textured papers have uneven printing surfaces that require print pressure adjustment. Pearlescent papers have a color-shifting base that interacts with printed colors. We produce color proofs on the actual specialty paper substrate before production release for all specialty paper applications.
