Now you want glitter graphics on your windows, boats, cars, mugs, file cabinets, mailboxes, and pets. So you've been asking for glitter vinyl. And we've delivered. We are proud to introduce the newest in our Endura line of top quality sign making products, EnduraGlitter CAST Ultrametallic vinyl.
Overview
EnduraGlitter CAST ultrametallic is a premium, glossy, 3mil cast PVC vinyl with a permanent solvent adhesive. It comes on a 78# Kraft release liner, and is made in the USA. What makes GlitterCAST so appealing is the high concentration of metal flake in the glossy face film. It has a higher metal flake content than ORACAL 951 Metallic and is virtually indistinguishable from Avery UC 900 Ultrametallic vinyl.
The high metal flake content makes it quite brilliant. But, as with glitter heat transfer film, there are a couple of tradeoffs. Cast films are known for their long term outdoor durability and superior adhesion to compound curves. A film with this much metal flake is slightly less conformable and UV resistant. So it's best used on flat surfaces and simple curves and is rated for up to 5 years outdoors in vertical applications. It's easy to cut and weed with a standard 45° blade. Start with the same force and offset parameters you'd use for calendared vinyl and fine tune as needed.
Applications
Now for the fun part.What can you do with EnduraGlitter CAST ultrametallic vinyl? A whole lot. Traditional applications for ultrametallic cast vinyl include accent graphics for cars and RVs, custom aftermarket graphics on muscle cars and motorcycles. Marine graphics are also a popular application for this sparkly film. Other applications new and old include:
- Trade show & exhibition graphics
- Retail point-of-purchase displays
- Banners and bandit signs
- Commercial storefront and window graphics
- Decorated drinkware
- Permanent personal decals, bumper stickers, etc.
You may have noticed that the list doesn't include wall graphics. Since it has a permanent adhesive, Glitter CAST is not intended for decorating interior walls. It can be applied to painted wall surfaces but removal of the vinyl may damage the paint. So any application of this product as wall décor should be considered permentnt, not removable.
