To achieve the glitter pearlescent effect we use Sparkling Mineral Powder (SMP). This durable pearlescent powder is attached to paper or cardboard by means of a very thin “glue layer”. SMP can be printed in all kinds of colours and in different levels of coverage.
How many glitter pearlescent effect colours are there?
Glitter pearlescent effects can be printed in CMYK and PMS. Many customers initially think of glitter and pearlescent in the classic colour tones such as gold, silver, bronze and copper, but bright (less natural) colour tones are also possible. The nice thing about Sparkling Mineral Powder is that it not only has a wide colour range, but that one can also play with different coverage levels. As a result, very special effects can emerge. For example, with a semi-transparent cover, the colour of the paper or cardboard comes into play.
Is the glitter pearlescent effect durable?
Yes, Sparkling Mineral Powder (SMP), with which we achieve this glitter pearlescent effect is durable, free of heavy metals, and recyclable! This mineral-based powder creates many pearlescent glitter effects, but these are essentially metal-free. It is suitable for use in labels and packaging in the food industry.
Is the glitter and pearlescent print effect suitable for labels and packaging?
