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 each 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 identical goes for iridescent. The films are colored and handled before they are cut.

There are totally different types and sizes of machines which are used for chopping glitter. Most machines have blades that lower the glitter into both hex form items or sq. 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 square flakes are fed straight in. Different blade configurations are used based on the dimensions of the flake.

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

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

You'll be able to take nice film and run it by way of a badly arrange machine and you will not get a clean cut. When you check out cheap glitter, you will not only see that the flakes aren't uniform in form, however you will notice little flecks of film that should not be there at all.

A variety of bad glitters come from outside the US where they use low cost film and operate machines that are not 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? Truth in advertising is just not the same world wide as it is here within the USA.

Finally, there are coatings on films. For example, in the event you buy a cheap metallic glitter it probably doesn't have an epoxy coating (ours does). This could not matter too much in case you are utilizing it for easy crafts. Nonetheless, it issues lots if you are using it for floors, boats and in solvents!
