Features

What sets it apart.

Each technology solves a specific technical challenge. Here is what distinguishes it from the rest of the catalog.

  • Tactile sparkle

    Glitter micro-particles suspended in UV varnish, not glued on top. Bright visual effect + tactile texture in the decorated area.

  • Range of tones

    Gold, silver, holographic, iridescent and colors (red, green, blue). Combinable with transparent inks for duotone effects.

  • Spot application

    We apply the glitter only to specific areas of the design (logo, graphic element) and leave the rest matte. Bold contrast.

  • Sealed against shedding

    The UV varnish seals the particles: they do not shed with friction, handling or rubbing. Nor do they fall off on contact with moisture.

  • Special effects

    Combinable with cold foil and embossing to create dual effects: metallic shine + sparkling particles. Premium cosmetics and beverages.

  • Cosmetics and special editions

    Ideal for artisanal cosmetics, seasonal beverages (Christmas, Day of the Dead), limited edition products and emotional marketing campaigns.

Design validation

Your design, approved before production.

We secure your design's quality before the print run: a physical sample printed with your artwork — a minimum of 80% similarity with the on-press result, which can exceed 90% — so you can approve it and move to production at no extra cost.

  1. Plotter proof

    We print your design on the proofing plotter to secure quality before production: a physical sample with your artwork and a minimum of 80% similarity with the on-press result — it can exceed 90%. You approve color, registration, and finishes on something you can hold in your hand.

  2. Approval → production

    With your sign-off you move to production at no additional cost: validation is part of the quality protocol. What you approved is what gets produced, with full confidence in print-run quality.

The complete cycle — proof, approval, and start-up — is included in your order: zero added cost for securing quality.

Frequently asked questions

Before you quote, we answer.

The most common questions about this technology, materials, and process.

How much do Glitter Labels cost?
Reference price: $480 MXN per thousand in standard configuration (sparkle-loaded varnish finish) at a 50,000-piece run. Your project's final price depends on substrate, format size, volume, and finishes — the formal quote puts it in writing within 24 business hours, with a plotter proof included before the print run.
What is the minimum run to buy Glitter Labels?
10,000 labels. If your volume falls below that floor, tell us about it in the brief: every project is quoted to spec and your advisor finds the path. Volume moves the price — growing from 50,000 to 250,000 pieces lowers the cost per thousand by 15% to 35%.
How do I get a quote for Glitter Labels, and how fast is the reply?
Three ways, all answered within 24 business hours: the quick-quote form on this very page (material, finish, and volume in 30 seconds), the full quote wizard at etival.mx/cotizador, or Quotes at 56 4166 5930 (phone and WhatsApp). The formal quote includes the plotter proof before press.
Does ETIVAL manufacture Glitter Labels, or is it a reseller?
We are the manufacturer: Glitter Labels is produced at our plant in the Valley of Mexico under ISO 9001:2015, with batch traceability. Sales are factory-direct — no middlemen — and a technical advisor walks your project from the quote to delivery in 15 days (repeats in 8).
Do the particles shed with use?
No. The particles remain suspended and sealed in the protective UV varnish. They withstand friction, intensive handling and contact with moisture. The label keeps its sparkle throughout the product's shelf life.
Can I combine glitter with cold foil?
Yes, and in fact it is a very effective combination: cold foil on the logo for metallic shine + glitter on graphic elements for textured sparkle. The combination triples the visual contrast of the label.
Is it safe for facial cosmetics?
Yes. The particles remain sealed in the UV varnish: there is no risk of migration into the cosmetic product. It complies with cosmetics regulations for container contact. We validate with migration tests before releasing production.
Does it work for seasonal products?
It is its ideal use. Glitter generates immediate emotional appeal in Christmas, Day of the Dead, Valentine's Day campaigns or special editions. The consumer associates sparkle with festivity and gifting.
