Packaging

Gold leaf sheets are always secured inside a book to protect them and keep them from touching each other.  The book is made of a specialty tissue paper that holds the gold leaf in place but will release it easily.  Books of 25 leaves each, are sealed in an envelope.

 

A box of 20 books is called a 'pack', which contains 500 leaves.  10 books (250 leaves) is called a half-pack.

Leaf is available in two types, loose leaf, and transfer leaf.  More information about the differences can be found here.  Transfer leaf can be identified by the transfer paper sticking out from the edge of the book.

 

In the picture to the left, the top book contains transfer leaves, the lower book contains loose leaves.
