What Is Oriental Decorative Paper?

Oriental decorative paper is a category of decorative papers featuring designs inspired by the ornamental art of the Middle East and Far East, as well as the European traditions of lace-making and decorative ornamentation. These patterns share a richness of detail, symmetry, repetition and an elegant decorative character.

The oriental papers in the range are available with two surface finishes: matte, featuring a classic non-glossy surface, and metallic, with a subtle pearlescent sheen. The metallic finish adds an extra sense of elegance and makes the designs even more eye-catching.

The patterns on oriental papers are produced using a variety of techniques, including embossing, metallic printing and flocking, which creates a soft velvet-like or suede texture. The effects range from subtle tone-on-tone designs to bold, contrasting colour combinations.

Scrapbooking and Cardmaking

Oriental papers are valued by scrapbookers and cardmakers. Their rich patterns create ready-made backgrounds for photographs and decorative elements. The 18 × 25cm size is convenient for use in albums.

Interior Decorations

Oriental papers can also be used as interior decorative elements, for example framed as artwork, applied as a feature wallpaper, or incorporated into lanterns and folding screens.

Oriental Decorative Paper - Surface Finishes

Matte Finish

Matte papers have a classic, uncoated surface without any shine. They are versatile and easy to print and write on. The matte finish gives the papers a natural, traditional character, while the patterns remain subtle and understated.

Metallic Finish

Metallic papers have a pearlescent, slightly glossy surface that reflects light and adds elegance. The metallic finish makes the patterns more distinctive and eye-catching. It is an ideal choice for projects requiring an extra touch of luxury.

Suede Finish (Flocked)

A special version featuring a soft, velvety suede texture within the pattern. Flocking is a technique in which fine textile fibres are applied to the surface of the paper, creating a soft and pleasant tactile effect. Paper with suede lace offers a unique sensory experience.

Oriental Decorative Paper - Working Techniques

Cutting

Oriental papers can be cut easily with scissors or a craft knife. Take care not to damage the texture of embossed designs. Cutting plotters can handle most types of oriental paper.

Gluing

Standard adhesives are suitable for matte papers. Metallic papers are best bonded with double-sided tape or spray adhesive, as water-based glues may leave marks on the glossy surface.

Printing

Matte papers can be printed using standard settings. Metallic papers require suitable printer settings, as the ink may not adhere evenly to the glossy surface. Testing is recommended before printing larger quantities.
