Bronzing Lace Paper
Bronzing lace paper is a decorative paper product characterized by a metallic gold (bronze) finish applied in a lace-like pattern. It is primarily used for aesthetic purposes in crafting, gift wrapping, and event decoration.
Material:
The base material is typically a thin paper, often wood pulp paper, though specialty versions may use higher quality cotton or other fibers. The metallic effect is achieved through a process of foil stamping. A thin layer of metallic foil (often aluminum, though other metals are used) is adhered to the paper's surface under heat and pressure, using a patterned die to create the lace design. Some variations utilize a coating containing metallic pigments instead of true foil.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of bronzing lace paper is decorative. It adds a luxurious and elegant touch to various applications.
Function:
- Visual Enhancement: The metallic sheen and intricate lace pattern create a visually striking effect.
- Texture: The foil stamping process often imparts a slight texture to the paper, adding another dimension to its appearance.
- Highlighting: Used to emphasize specific elements in crafting projects or gift presentations.
Usage Scenarios:
- Gift Wrapping: Used as wrapping paper or as an accent ribbon or tag.
- Card Making & Scrapbooking: Incorporated into card designs, scrapbook layouts, and other paper crafts.
- Event Decoration: Used for table settings, invitations, favor boxes, and other decorative elements in weddings, parties, and other events.
- Packaging: Employed for packaging small luxury goods or promotional items.
- DIY Projects: Used in a wide range of DIY crafts, including paper flowers, ornaments, and home décor.
Common Types:
- Full-Sheet Bronzing Lace Paper: Available in standard sheet sizes (e.g., 8.5" x 11", 12" x 12").
- Bronzing Lace Paper Rolls: Available in rolls for larger projects or continuous application.
- Pre-Cut Bronzing Lace Paper Shapes: Available in various shapes (e.g., tags, flowers, leaves) for convenience.
- Double-Sided Bronzing Lace Paper: Features the lace pattern on both sides of the paper.
- Colored Bronzing Lace Paper: The base paper is tinted with color before the foil stamping process, resulting in a colored metallic lace design.
- Embossed Bronzing Lace Paper: Combines foil stamping with embossing for a more pronounced three-dimensional effect.
Based on the provided information, “bronzing lace paper” can be classified under the following HS codes:
-
4823901000: This HS code covers “Other paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, cut to size or shape; other articles of paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers: Other: Of paper pulp”. This could apply if the bronzing lace paper is primarily composed of paper pulp. The total tax rate is 55.0%, consisting of a 0.0% base tariff and a 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025.
-
4823906000: This HS code covers “Other paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, cut to size or shape; other articles of paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers: Other: Other: Other: Of coated paper or paperboard: Gaskets, washers and other seals”. If the bronzing process involves a coating on the paper or paperboard, this code may be applicable. The total tax rate is 55.0%, consisting of a 0.0% base tariff and a 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025.
-
3919905060: This HS code covers “Self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, whether or not in rolls: Other: Other Other”. If the bronzing lace paper is self-adhesive and made of plastic, this code could be relevant. The total tax rate is 60.8%, consisting of a 5.8% base tariff and a 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025.
-
3919901000: This HS code covers “Self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, whether or not in rolls: Other: Having a light-reflecting surface produced in whole or in part by glass grains (ballotini)”. If the bronzing effect is achieved using glass grains, this code may be applicable. The total tax rate is 61.5%, consisting of a 6.5% base tariff and a 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025.
Chapter 48 relates to “Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers”. Chapter 39 relates to “Plastics and articles thereof”.
Heading 4823 specifically covers “Other paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers, cut to size or shape; other articles of paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibers”. Heading 3919 specifically covers “Self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics”.
It is important to determine the material composition (paper pulp vs. plastic) and whether the product is self-adhesive to accurately classify the bronzing lace paper. If the bronzing process involves a coating, HS code 4823906000 should be considered.
