3 Ways to Use Duo Finish Flower Wrapping Paper

This guide explores three ways florists can use flower wrapping paper with a soft matte face and shiny reverse. Designed for fresh and artificial bouquet work, the Cello Lustre Matte Wrap range gives flower shops, floral designers and gift businesses a simple way to bring surface contrast into each presentation.

Each 60 micron BOPP sheet can be used matte-side out for a quieter finish, folded back to reveal shine, or layered to create depth around flowers and gifts. The range comes in eight colours, with 100 pre-cut 50 x 70cm sheets in every pack.

Start with a matte-forward bouquet wrap

For an understated bouquet presentation, place the soft matte side facing outward. The matte surface provides a clean backdrop that lets the flower heads, foliage and ribbon become the focus. It is a useful approach for everyday bouquets, wedding work and arrangements where the stems and blooms already provide plenty of colour or texture.

Wrap the bouquet as usual, keeping the shiny reverse inside the folds. Even when it is not immediately visible, the reverse remains available for a small adjustment at the collar or an extra layer near the base. This makes it easier to adapt the finished look without changing materials partway through the wrap.

The pre-cut format supports a consistent workflow, particularly when preparing multiple bouquets. A 50 x 70cm sheet offers a ready-to-use format for fresh and artificial flower bouquets and arrangements, without needing to cut each sheet from a roll.

Create contrast with a folded shiny edge

A turned-back edge is a direct way to show the two finishes in one design. Begin with the matte side out, then fold over a corner, top edge or side panel so the shiny reverse catches the light. The result is a clear contrast between the soft outer surface and the reflective inner detail.

This method works well when a bouquet needs a defined collar around the flowers. Keep the folded edge narrow for a subtle detail, or use a broader fold when the wrap is intended to form a more visible part of the presentation. A second sheet can also be layered behind the first, with one sheet showing matte and the other showing shine.

The eight colours allow for tonal or contrasting combinations. Choose Cello Lustre Matte Wrap 60mic Blue Haze Pack 100 (50x70cm), Cello Lustre Matte Wrap 60mic Blush Pink Pack 100 (50x70cm) or Cello Lustre Matte Wrap 60mic Light Pink Pack 100 (50x70cm) for lighter colour directions. For warmer or deeper colour groupings, consider Cello Lustre Matte Wrap 60mic Milky Tea Pack 100 (50x70cm), Cello Lustre Matte Wrap 60mic Vintage Pink Pk100 (50x70cm) and Cello Lustre Matte Wrap 60mic Native Plum Pack 100 (50x70cm).

Line a flower box with colour and shine

Posy box lining is another practical use for this duo finish wrap. Place a sheet inside a flower box with the matte side visible for a soft foundation beneath the arrangement. Fold the upper edges over the rim, or leave a small section of the shiny reverse visible at the front, to add a controlled finish detail.

For a layered liner, use two colours together. A matte outer sheet can frame a second sheet with its shiny side showing in the centre. This approach creates separation between the arrangement and the box while giving the presentation a more considered colour structure.

Cello Lustre Matte Wrap 60mic Eucalyptus Pack 100 (50x70cm) and Cello Lustre Matte Wrap 60mic Cool White Pack 100 (50x70cm) offer additional options for lining and layering. The wrap is also suitable for hamper wrapping and gift wrapping, allowing the same finish contrast to continue across floral and gifting work.

Use the same wrap for artificial flower arrangements

The range is suitable for artificial flower bouquets and arrangements, making it useful when styling displays, event pieces or long-lasting floral gifts. Pair the wrap with stems from the Artificial Flowers collection, then choose which side of the sheet best supports the arrangement's colour and texture.

For a display with detailed petals, textured leaves or wired stems, a matte-facing wrap can keep the overall presentation calm. Turn back the shiny reverse where a little light and definition is needed around the top edge. The same method can be repeated across coordinated pieces while allowing each arrangement to retain its own colour balance.

Choose colour based on the flowers and finish detail

When selecting a colour, consider both the blooms and the amount of shiny reverse you plan to show. A matte-forward design keeps the colour field more restrained. A broad folded edge brings more reflected light into the arrangement and makes the contrast more visible.

• Use one colour for a focused bouquet wrap with a small turned-back detail.
• Layer two colours to separate the bouquet from its outer wrap.
• Use the matte side for the main surface and reserve shine for folds, corners and box edges.
• Keep the same colour across bouquets, posy boxes, hampers and gifts for a coordinated presentation.
