PU leather, metallic film, 0.8 mm
Metallic film face on a soft backing, 0.8 mm. Reflects light evenly; the surface is a film, not a dyed grain.
| Best for | GWP and campaign pouches, holiday sets, and small cosmetic bags sold alongside a product rather than on their own. |
|---|---|
| Limits | A film face keeps a fold line, so avoid sharp folds and choose a zip that does not crush the opening. Shade shifts between production lots are more visible than on matte PU: approve a swatch and keep one lot per launch. |
For gift-with-purchase runs where the bag has to read as a gift on the shelf. Usually one colour per season, ordered against a launch date rather than held as stock.
