Inside the process

How our glitter is made

A glitter finish starts long before the final sparkle. Explore the material, coating and cutting steps behind the collection.

XUCAI start with the film production process01 / THE PROCESS

Start with the film

A material direction is selected around the desired effect and intended application.

XUCAI build the finish production process02 / THE PROCESS

Plating and coating processes create the decorative surface before particle cutting.

XUCAI define the detail production process03 / THE PROCESS

Define the detail

Cutting translates the finished material into the requested particle geometry.

XUCAI sort, review, pack production process04 / THE PROCESS

Sort, review, pack

Sieving, sample review and packing form part of the journey to the agreed specification.

Colour with a reference

From an idea
to an approved sample.

Share a Pantone reference or a physical sample together with the target visual effect. Matching a reflective material involves more than a screen colour: the substrate, lighting, particle cut and application influence what the viewer sees. A physical sample gives both teams a reference to discuss and approve.

Once the material direction is agreed, confirm the colour, dimensions, shape, packaging and application conditions in the specification. Request the available technical information for that grade and carry out a trial in your own production process.
