Definition: Smooth paper with a low gloss finish is said to have a dull finish. More luster than matte but not high gloss.

Dull finish papers can be utilitarian, such as some tissue papers used to stuff shoeboxes or wrap clothing. Dull finish papers can also be elegant choices for invitations and greeting cards - typically going by more elegant-sounding names such as velvet or satin finish.

Also Known As: satin | suede | velvet
