The glitter that we sell is made from completely different types of film. The Craft Glitter is made from PVC film and the Polyester Glitter is made from PET films. The iridescent line combines both PET and acrylic together.

The metallic glitters are made from film that may be a single strong color.

The holographic glitter is made from film that already has the holographic quality. The same goes for iridescent. The films are colored and handled earlier than they’re cut.

There are different types and sizes of machines which can be used for chopping glitter. Most machines have blades that lower the glitter into either hex shape items or sq. form items depending on how the film is fed into it. Other machines die-lower shapes from the film. With some machines, the hex form flakes are fed in at an angle and sq. flakes are fed straight in. Completely different blade configurations are used primarily based on the size of the flake.

There are completely different technologies utilized by different corporations of course.

his is an endless topic as there are so many differences between really good glitter and really bad glitter. First the film issues an entire lot. High-quality film is going to give you nice glitter…. or is it?

You possibly can take great film and run it via a badly arrange machine and you will not get a clean cut. Should you take a look at cheap glitter, you will not only see that the flakes should not uniform in form, however you will note little flecks of film that shouldn’t be there at all.

Numerous bad glitters come from outside the US where they use low cost film and operate machines that are not well arrange or have poor blades. Glitter from other international locations are also a wild card- is it really non-poisonous or are they just saying so? Fact in advertising isn’t the same world wide as it’s right here within the USA.

Finally, there are coatings on films. For example, should you buy an inexpensive metallic glitter it most likely does not have an epoxy coating (ours does). This may not matter too much in case you are utilizing it for easy crafts. Nevertheless, it matters quite a bit if you’re utilizing it for flooring, boats and in solvents!
