Glitter Coating Benefits
Glitter Coating — Sparkling Retail Impact for Seasonal, Novelty, and Youth Packaging
Glitter coating applies fine metallic or holographic glitter particles suspended in a clear carrier coating to packaging surfaces, creating a sparkling, multi-point reflective effect that catches light from any angle. The result is packaging that sparkles visibly from across a retail floor — a visual impact that no other coating technique produces in the same way.
Glitter coating is the natural choice for Christmas and holiday gift packaging, Valentine's Day confectionery, children's toy packaging, birthday gift packaging, and any application where the association with celebration and festivity is the desired brand signal. Bio-degradable glitter options are available for eco-conscious brands that want sparkle without microplastic concerns.
Glitter Coating Applications in Seasonal Packaging
Christmas and holiday packaging represents the majority of glitter coating applications — gold and silver glitter on deep red or green packaging is the most recognizable holiday packaging aesthetic in consumer retail. Valentine's Day packaging uses red and pink glitter. Children's birthday packaging uses mixed-color and holographic glitter. The seasonal nature of most glitter coating applications means programs are typically planned months in advance.
Biodegradable Glitter for Sustainable Brands
Standard plastic glitter is a microplastic that presents environmental concerns. Biodegradable glitter made from plant cellulose is available as an alternative that provides comparable visual impact while being certified biodegradable in soil and water environments. For brands with strong environmental commitments, biodegradable glitter allows the visual impact of glitter coating without the microplastic concerns.

Glitter Coating in Bend — FAQs
What glitter types are available?
Fine metallic glitter in gold, silver, and copper, holographic glitter with rainbow shimmer, and mixed-color glitter options are all available. Biodegradable cellulose glitter in the same color range is available for sustainable applications.
Does glitter coating shed particles?
Modern glitter coating formulations encapsulate the glitter particles in a clear carrier matrix that significantly reduces shedding compared to loose glitter. Some particle loss is expected during handling — glitter coating should be used for packaging where this is acceptable (retail gift packaging) rather than where it is not (food contact packaging).
Is glitter coating food-safe?
Glitter coating is not recommended for food contact packaging due to particle shedding concerns. It is appropriate for external gift packaging and retail display packaging where food contact does not occur.
Can glitter be applied as a spot finish?
Yes. Glitter can be applied to specific areas of a packaging design — a glitter star, snowflake, or brand mark against a matte or gloss background creates a focal point sparkle effect more restrained than full-surface glitter.

Glitter coating is available on standard production run quantities. Seasonal programs should be planned 8-12 weeks in advance.
