German term

Halbstumpfe Oberfläche

German to English Tech/Engineering Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) Food packaging
This appears on the website of a company that manufactures food-grade packaging films.

The term appears on its own in a list of product features, as in:

Extrem hohe Glanzwerte
Mehrlagig
Halbstumpfe Oberfläche
Allroundfolie
Erhältlich in 12.5 , 15, 19 und 25 µm

so I can't offer any more context I'm afraid.

Thank you for any suggestions.

semi-matt/semi-gloss surface

It literally means semi-matt, but you could also say semi-gloss. If you look at the examples in my reference, you'll see that "etwas stumpf werden lassen" is "to take the gloss off something".
