Application Tips
Lighting Consideration
The sparkling effect is most pronounced under direct or angled light sources. Test under intended lighting conditions before full production.
Application Pressure
Use a firm, even pressure when applying with a squeegee. Excessive force may slightly dull the sparkling effect.
Ink Drying Time
Ensure printer ink is fully cured (24-48 hours) before laminating to prevent adhesive interaction and potential clouding.
Cutting & Trimming
Use a sharp blade. The glitter particles can increase blade wear; inspect and change blades more frequently for clean cuts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common inquiries regarding Sparkling Lamination Film specifications, processing requirements, and application considerations.
This film is compatible with most digital and conventional printing methods including offset lithography, flexography, digital toner, and UV inkjet systems. For optimal results, we recommend testing adhesion with specific ink systems, particularly with heavily pigmented or metallic inks that may require adjusted curing parameters.
Sparkling Lamination Film provides a more controlled, uniform distribution of metallic particles compared to traditional glitter laminates. The particles are embedded within the film structure rather than surface-applied, resulting in reduced particle shedding, improved scratch resistance, and consistent optical effects across production runs.
Store rolls in their original packaging in a controlled environment between 15-25°C (59-77°F) with 40-60% relative humidity. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, heat sources, or moisture. For optimal performance, condition rolls at operating temperature for 24 hours before use in production environments.
The standard formulation is not specifically certified for direct food contact. For packaging applications involving direct food contact, we offer specialized food-grade compliant versions that meet relevant regulatory standards including FDA 21 CFR and EU 10/2011 requirements for indirect food contact applications.
Standard product offerings are available with minimum order quantities starting from 10 rolls per specification. For custom formulations involving specific particle sizes, colors, or adhesive systems, minimum quantities typically begin at 50 rolls with extended lead times for development and production.
