The glitter that we sell is made from two totally 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 is 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 treated earlier than they are cut.

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

There are totally different applied sciences utilized by totally different corporations of course.

his is an finishless matter as there are such a lot of differences between really good glitter and really bad glitter. First the film issues a whole lot. High-quality film is going to give you great glitter…. or is it?

You can take great film and run it by way of a badly set up machine and you’ll not get a clean cut. In the event you take a look at cheap glitter, you’ll not only see that the flakes are usually not uniform in form, however you will see little flecks of film that should not be there at all.

Loads of bad glitters come from outside the US the place they use cheap film and operate machines that are not 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? Fact in advertising isn’t the identical world wide as it is here in the USA.

Finally, there are coatings on films. For example, if you happen to buy a cheap metallic glitter it in all probability doesn’t have an epoxy coating (ours does). This may not matter an excessive amount of if you’re utilizing it for simple crafts. However, it matters so much in case you are using it for flooring, boats and in solvents!
