SHADOW FOLD PACK - GOLD
Iridescent GOLD side • Black reverse side
Some papers leave a lasting mark on the history of origami. Shadow Fold is one of those that experienced folders still look back on with nostalgia today. Origami-Shop was the first distributor worldwide to offer this paper to origamists back in 2013.
Permanently discontinued in 2021, Shadow Fold is no longer manufactured today. The few packs offered here are among the last stocks still available. They stand as the final witnesses to a paper that marked an entire generation of folders.

Why is this paper so highly prized?
Shadow Fold possesses a rare characteristic: a spectacular iridescent face combined with a completely black reverse side. This combination allows for a natural reproduction of the metallic reflections seen on the wings of many insects, the feathers of certain birds, or even the scales of mythical creatures.
Unlike most current iridescent papers, Shadow Fold pairs a glossy surface of shifting highlights with a deep black reverse. This unique feature delivers striking natural contrasts without the need for coloring or touch-ups.
Its exceptional thinness allows it to take a high number of folds despite its low thickness. Many folders consider it one of the best papers ever produced for insects and models that make the most of the contrast between a bright face and a dark reverse.
Ideal for:- Realistic insects
- Butterflies and dragonflies
- Small colorful birds
- Models requiring plumage or iridescence effects

An opportunity that will likely never happen again
Once these final packs are gone, Shadow Fold will permanently join the ranks of vanished papers.
This paper was particularly appreciated for insects, butterflies, and models utilizing natural light effects. Today, it remains a highly sought-after material for collectors and folders who were lucky enough to discover it back in its day.
