Indeed it does. You can get rolls of it about 25mm wide, used for shielding
cases and so on. 3M make some. I can't recall seeing anything wider than
that, the only other source is for making stained glass windows, but that
only runs to about 6mm wide.

In theory you could get wider rolls as they just cut if from a big one.
