The glitter that we sell is made from two 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 each PET and acrylic together.

The metallic glitters are made from film that is a single solid color.

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

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

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

his is an endless matter as there are so many differences between really good glitter and really bad glitter. First the film matters a complete lot. High-quality film is going to provide you nice glitter…. or is it?

You’ll be able to take great film and run it by way of a badly arrange machine and you will not get a clean cut. In the event you take a look at low cost glitter, you’ll not only see that the flakes should not uniform in shape, but you will see little flecks of film that shouldn’t be there at all.

A number of bad glitters come from outside the US where they use low-cost film and operate machines that aren’t well set up 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? Reality in advertising isn’t the identical around the globe as it’s right here in the USA.

Finally, there are coatings on films. For example, should you purchase an affordable metallic glitter it most likely doesn’t have an epoxy coating (ours does). This may not matter too much in case you are using it for simple crafts. Nonetheless, it issues a lot if you are using it for floors, boats and in solvents!
