What is Ribbon Leaf

Also known as Rolls of Leaf

Ribbon leaf is a term used to refer to rolls of white rosin paper that have individual squares of genuine or metal leaf place one after another. Each leaf is laid in sequence in a continuous length of 5 meter, 20 meter, 50 meter and 75 meter, depending on type of leaf.

Each sheet of leaf overlaps the previous leaf by 2mm.

Ribbon Gold Leaf is manufactured by placing 4 1/8" square leaves onto a continuous length of waxed paper with a 2mm overlap. The rolled paper and the cardboard core are equal in width and the gold leaf is placed inside the edge of the paper. Ribbon Leaf can be trimmed to any size required. When trimmed, the gold leaf and paper are cut to produce a clean edge of gold and paper of the exact width.

Ribbon Metal Leaf is manufactured by placing 6 1/4" square leaves onto a continuous length of waxed paper with a 2mm overlap. Each leaf is 6 1/4" x 6 1/4" on a continuous roll of 5, 50 or 75 meter lengths. Approx. coverage for 50 meter is 82 sqft and the 75 meter roll is 123 sqft.

Every project has a unique profile. You (or your client) may want the 'real' stuff... until you start pricing it. A 35sqft dresser is one thing, but a 1,200 sqft ceiling is another.

Here's a bunch of basic info, facts and specs for you to pull together for your unique project.
