PET Glitter Film is a specialized polyester film featuring precisely dispersed glitter particles that create stunning sparkling visual effects. This premium decorative film combines the excellent mechanical properties of PET with vibrant glitter elements that reflect and scatter light, creating a dynamic, eye-catching appearance that enhances the aesthetic appeal of various end products.
Our advanced manufacturing technology ensures uniform distribution of glitter particles throughout the film matrix, resulting in consistent sparkle effect across the entire surface. The glitter particles are permanently embedded within the film structure, ensuring long-lasting performance without shedding or degradation over time. Available in various colors and particle sizes, our glitter films can be customized to achieve specific visual effects from subtle shimmer to bold sparkle.
Available in thicknesses ranging from 12μm to 125μm, our PET Glitter Film offers exceptional dimensional stability and processing compatibility despite its decorative elements. The film provides excellent printability and can be combined with various processing techniques including lamination, die-cutting, and embossing. Its combination of visual impact and functional performance makes it ideal for premium packaging, festive decorations, and high-end consumer products.
