The metallic glitters are made from film that is a single stable 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 earlier than they’re cut.

There are different types and sizes of machines that are used for slicing glitter. Most machines have blades that cut the glitter into either hex form pieces or sq. form items depending on how the film is fed into it. Other machines die-minimize shapes from the film.

There are different technologies used by different companies of course.

his is an finishless matter as there are so many variations between really good glitter and really bad glitter. First the film matters an entire lot. High-quality film goes to provide you great glitter…. or is it?

You possibly can take nice film and run it by means of a badly arrange machine and you’ll not get a clean cut. In the event you take a look at cheap glitter, you will not only see that the flakes aren’t uniform in form, however you will see little flecks of film that shouldn’t be there at all.

A lot 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 additionally a wild card- is it really non-toxic or are they just saying so? Reality in advertising is not the identical all over the world as it is here in the USA.

Finally, there are coatings on films. For example, should you purchase an inexpensive metallic glitter it probably does not have an epoxy coating (ours does). This could not matter too much if you are utilizing it for easy crafts. However, it issues rather a lot in case you are using it for floors, boats and in solvents!
