These mylar flakes are lightfast and solvent proof. They are cut from very thin (0.011 mm) metallized mylar to a 0.015" (0.381) rough "diameter" particle size (the shape varies from rectangular to oval). We carry many colors besides the main primary and complementary colors. We also have the interference "Rainbow" multihued, color changing flake. To my knowledge, these flakes are the smallest "glitter" flake size you can buy. We now have combinations of two or 3 single color flakes which can have interesting effects, complementary color combinations are especially interesting.
I hesitate to call this glitter because the small particle size makes the overall effect smoother and more attractive than traditional larger sized glitter. Still very bright but nicer than older glitters. This particle size is pricier than regular glitter, but a little bit goes a long way. These are very lightweight and opaque flakes, so it doesn't take a very large weight quantity to cover a large surface. Since they are sold by weight and are low density, you get a lot of volume for the low weights you buy them in.
These particular flakes are quite different than the "Crystalinas". They have bolder, stronger colors and catch your eye immediately. Bold reds, blues, yellows, silvers, purples, coppers, greens. These are sometimes used in automotive "Clearcoats" on cars and trucks. They're also used on paper products like cards and collage, and other craft items. Anywhere you might want to put regular glitter would get an extra "punchiness" and "classiness" from these flakes.
As mentioned above we have several 2 color combinations of flakes.
There is one color that stands out among them all (although it may be on a different polymer than mylar and a slightly smaller flake size). It's the multihued "Rainbow" color which is more expensive than others because of the applied flake colors are interference colors which change color depending on the angle of view. It can be startling when you first see it with all of separate yet changing colors. The pictures really do not do it justice, it's amazingly colorful, your eye is drawn to it like a magnet.

The cost in my cart seems too high, what can I do?

This problem usually occurs with multiple items. We have free shipping on many of our items. In your cart items will have the sum of all embedded shipping costs. If you place an order for 3 or more "FreeShip" items, you will receive a "rebate" for the excess shipping. The more items you have the greater the shipping refund will be. You can also message us to ask what the total cost of your order will be when excess shipping is refunded before you purchase.
Or, if you see "Request a Custom Order" or "Message Seller", you can request a custom order and your items will be put in a custom listing with the correct shipping. You would purchase it like any other listing.
