The term “Schabin” refers to imitation gold leaves measuring 16×16 centimeters, which are sold in bulk format with a total weight of 2 grams.
These leaves are placed in plastic packaging and then into boxes containing 3 packages each, for a total of 6 grams. The box is then carefully sealed to preserve the leaf from oxidation over time.
This type of packaging has been specifically designed to make the handling and application of imitation leaf easier during gilding, especially for hobby and educational use.
