What is glitter sticker paper

Glitter sticker paper is a material used to create glitter stickers. Contrary to what most people think, glitter isn’t added to standard sticker paper. Instead, the material itself has the glitter effect printed onto it.

The term “sticker paper” can also be misleading. Glitter materials are usually made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polypropylene — both 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 stickers are made from polypropylene, which is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and widely recyclable. The material has a metallic look with larger reflective glitter particles. You can use these glitter stickers outdoors for up to one year.

Eco-friendly glitter stickers

We’ve given our white eco-friendly stickers a sparkly makeover to create these stand-out options. Eco-friendly holographic stickers are made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, which makes them compostable. We’ve added a super-thin metallic layer to our white stickers. It’s thin enough that it doesn’t affect compostability but still adds a subtle sparkle.

The only downside is that these wood pulp-based stickers aren’t waterproof and should only be used indoors.

How to use glitter sticker paper

Glitter stickers are extremely versatile and can add a touch of luxury and fun to projects like:

• Decorating scrapbook pages
• Adding sparkle to greeting cards
• Applying to gifts and packages
• Making custom labels for bottles, jars, and boxes
• Sticking on artwork, drawings, or paintings
• Creating decorations for parties and events
• Personalizing notebooks and organizers
• Crafting unique DIY projects
• Printing monograms or designs on t-shirts and other apparel
• Decorating mirrors, furniture, phone cases, or laptops

Advantages of using glitter stickers over other materials

In addition to all the usual sticker benefits (affordable, flexible, fast, and easy), glitter stickers offer some extra perks.

Boost brand visibility

If you want your brand to stand out, glitter logo stickers are a great option. These eye-catching stickers don’t just look amazing — they grab attention. People are naturally drawn to shiny things, so adding glitter to your marketing materials can help boost visibility and build brand awareness.

Create vibrant color effects

The glitter material on its own already sparkles. But did you know you can print color over the glitter to create a colored glitter effect? You can even combine regular glitter, colored glitter, and solid colors using white ink. This lets you create bold, elegant effects that are hard to ignore. Try it out and give your designs a glow-up.

Add a premium feel

Looking to make your products feel more exclusive? Glitter stickers give your packaging a premium, high-end finish. Their reflective texture adds a touch of luxury and instantly makes products feel more special. A product with glitter accents signals quality and uniqueness — and helps your brand stand out in a crowded market.

Tips on selecting the right sticker material for your project

When choosing glitter sticker paper, here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Project type – Will it be used indoors or outdoors? If outdoors, go with waterproof vinyl.
2. Visual effect – Do you want subtle sparkle or bold shine? Glitter materials vary in sparkle size and intensity.
3. Durability – Choose a material strong enough to last through your intended use.
4. Budget – Compare material options to get the best value for your needs.

Glitter sticker paper is a fun and effective way to enhance any design. It helps create unique color effects, gives your products a premium touch, and can help draw attention to your brand — all while being easy to use and cost-efficient.
