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 could be a single solid 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’re cut.

There are different types and sizes of machines which can be used for slicing glitter. Most machines have blades that minimize the glitter into both hex shape pieces or sq. shape items depending on how the film is fed into it. Other machines die-minimize shapes from the film. With some machines, the hex shape flakes are fed in at an angle and sq. flakes are fed straight in. Different blade configurations are used based on the scale of the flake.

There are different applied sciences utilized 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 an entire lot. High-quality film goes to present you nice glitter…. or is it?

You possibly can take great film and run it by means of a badly arrange machine and you’ll not get a clean cut. If you take a look at low-cost glitter, you will not only see that the flakes usually are not uniform in form, however you will note little flecks of film that should not be there at all.

Quite a lot of bad glitters come from outside the US the place they use cheap film and operate machines that are not well arrange or have poor blades. Glitter from other nations are additionally a wild card- is it really non-poisonous or are they just saying so? Reality in advertising just isn’t the same all over the world as it is right here within the USA.

Finally, there are coatings on films. For instance, when you purchase a cheap metallic glitter it in all probability does not have an epoxy coating (ours does). This may not matter too much if you’re utilizing it for easy crafts. However, it matters rather a lot if you are using it for flooring, boats and in solvents!
