The glitter that we sell is made from 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 could be a single stable 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 before they are cut.

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

There are totally different technologies used by different companies 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 whole lot. High-high quality film goes to present you great glitter…. or is it?

You possibly can take great film and run it by means of a badly set up machine and you’ll not get a clean cut. If you take a look at cheap glitter, you’ll not only see that the flakes are not uniform in shape, but you will see little flecks of film that should not be there at all.

A whole lot of bad glitters come from outside the US the place they use low-cost film and operate machines that aren’t 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 will not be the identical around the globe as it is right here within the USA.

Finally, there are coatings on films. For example, for those who purchase a cheap metallic glitter it most likely doesn’t have an epoxy coating (ours does). This could not matter an excessive amount of in case you are utilizing it for easy crafts. Nonetheless, it matters a lot if you are using it for floors, boats and in solvents!
