Glitter sticker paper is a material used to create glitter stickers. Contrary to what most people think, glitter is not added to a standard sticker paper. Instead, this material has the glitter effect printed onto it.
The term sticker paper can also be misleading. Glitter materials are usually made from polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene - vinyl-based plastics, not paper.
This makes glitter stickers durable, waterproof and super shiny.

Different types of glitter sticker paper
Glitter sticker paper is a great way to add sparkle and shine to your projects. We offer two main types of glitter stickers: vinyl-based, made from polypropylene, and eco-friendly, made from wood pulp.
Vinyl glitter stickers
These beauties are made from polypropylene, which is waterproof and scratch-resistant and can be widely recycled. The material has a metallised look that features larger bits of shimmery particles. You can use these glitter stickers outdoors for up to one year.

Eco-friendly glitter stickers
We've put a fancy dress on our white eco-friendly stickers to create these sparkly eye-catchers. Eco-friendly stickers are made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, making them compostable. We've added a super thin metallised layer to our white stickers. This layer is so thin that it will not interfere with the compostability of the overall sticker, but it still gives you some added sparkle. The only downside is that these wood pulp-based stickers are not waterproof and should only be used indoors.
