Title: Metal Silver Foil Laminated Cardboard
Post by: ACH DIGITAL on March 22, 2015, 04:26:35 pm

Hi I just moved and lost all my Metal Silver and Gold Foil Laminated Cardboard.
I use this in product photography for reflecting light to small products. As it is cardboard it allows to cut it to the exact size for bottles and others.
Do anybody know where to get it on stores or the internet,
Thanks

In the UK we have Hobbycraft and I found this listed for gold (silver also comes on the site)http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/craft-uk-limited-5-pack-a4-gold-mirror-board/563411-1000

Surely there is something similar in the US ??? Assuming that is the sort of product you are after?

A friend of mine has been using for a few years now a silver foil (hardy stuff) from a package of a smoked pacific salmon. May sound strange, but he swears by it.
The first year it could be used also as a bait for raccoons or bears.
