Glitter Printing Without Loose Glitter
This collection puts sparkle on 10 products in two ways. Nine of them print on Diamond Glitter stock, a 17pt or 32pt card with the glitter built into the sheet, which 4OVER4.COM describes as the world's only printable glitter that does not crack or shed. The tenth, Glitter Spot UV Business Cards, lays a glitter coating over chosen parts of a 16 point silk laminated card.
The finish is one of the most popular premium options in the 4OVER4.COM catalog. It's bold, it's tactile, and it makes people stop and look twice. Business cards, postcards, hang tags, invitations, and stickers all come with the same light-catching shine.
Sparkle Print on Diamond Glitter Stock
For a sparkle print across the whole front, pick a Diamond Glitter product. The 17pt stock carries glitter on the front only, so the back takes plain black or full color text, and it comes as business cards at 2 by 3.5, 2 by 2 or 1.5 by 3.5 inches from 50 for $31.84, postcards from 2.5 by 2.5 to 6 by 11 inches from 50 for $25.60, invitations at 4.25 by 5.5, 5 by 7 or 6 by 6 inches from 50 for $52.73, hang tags from 50 for $30.76 and stickers on Diamond Glitter label stock from 50 for $31.84.
The Ultra Thick versions move to 32pt Diamond Glitter Cover for a card that feels heavy in the hand, from 50 business cards for $44.20 or 50 invitations for $78.31, with matching Diamond Glitter envelopes for the invitations.
Spot Glitter Printing on Business Cards
Spot glitter printing puts the sparkle only where your artwork marks it: a logo, a monogram, a border. Glitter Spot UV Business Cards print on 16 point silk laminated card at 2 by 3.5, 1.5 by 3.5 or 2.5 by 2.5 inches, with the glitter on the front, the back or both, from 500 cards for $200.84. The matte silk face makes the glitter stand out by contrast.
You can add foil stamping or plain spot UV on the same card and round the corners at a 1/8 or 1/4 inch radius. Build a separate spot layer in your file marking where the glitter goes, and check its placement on the free digital proof. These cards take 10 business days to produce.
Glitter Stock Against Glitter Coating
A Diamond Glitter card has the reflective particles in the stock itself, so light bounces off the whole front at different angles, and the texture stays smooth enough to write on and sturdy enough to handle. A Glitter Spot UV card adds the glitter as a clear coating on top of a printed silk card, so the rest of the card stays matte.
Neither one is a foil stamp or metallic ink. Choose the stock when you want the full surface to shine, and the spot coating when you want one element to catch the light against a quiet background.
Glitter Print Products, Stocks and Turnaround
The glitter print lineup comes down to three stocks: 17pt Diamond Glitter with glitter on the front, 32pt Diamond Glitter Cover for the Ultra Thick line, and 16 point silk laminated card under Glitter Spot UV. Every Diamond Glitter product starts at 50 pieces and offers production times up to 5 business days; the spot glitter cards start at 500 and take 10.
Glitter looks flatter in a photo than in the hand. A camera flash turns the sparkle into white specks and a screen cannot show the way it shifts as you tilt the card, so judge color from the proof and judge the shine from a free sample under the light where you will use it.
The Ten Products by Format
Business cards lead the way. Glitter Spot UV Business Cards place shine exactly where your design calls for it, while Diamond Glitter Business Cards spread larger reflective particles across the front for maximum sparkle. Want more heft? Ultra Thick Diamond Glitter Business Cards on 32pt give you a substantial card that feels premium the moment someone picks it up.
The finish carries across formats too. Diamond Glitter Hangtags, Postcards, Invitations, and Stickers bring the same shimmer to retail tags, mailers, event pieces, and packaging. Ultra Thick Diamond Glitter Hangtags, Postcards, and Invitations add extra thickness for the pieces you want to feel heavier in hand.
Salons, Weddings and Boutiques
Glitter effect prints work best when your brand already leans into energy, luxury, or celebration. Beauty and wellness brands hand out 2 by 3.5 inch glitter business cards that mirror the detail in their work, and salon owners and makeup artists use them to make every client touchpoint feel premium.
Event and wedding professionals print 5 by 7 inch glitter postcards as save the dates that guests keep, plus VIP passes and invitations with matching glitter envelopes for galas and launch parties. Boutiques and jewelry brands attach 2 by 3.5 inch glitter hang tags, drilled with a 1/8 or 3/16 inch hole, and stickers so the packaging matches the sparkle of what's inside. Club promoters and DJs use the finish for flyers that catch every flash under venue lighting.
Design Tips for the Best Glitter Results
The glitter is the star, so keep your layout clean and leave room for the shimmer to breathe. Dark backgrounds like black, navy, and deep burgundy make the glitter pop harder than lighter tones, and bold, simple typography reads clearly through the sparkle.
Choose your coverage on purpose. Spot glitter is great for logos, borders, and accents, while full coverage delivers maximum impact but can soften small text. Glitter looks different on screen than in hand, so order a proof or free sample before you commit to a full run.
Production In House, Proofs and Samples
4OVER4.COM has been printing for 25+ years and produces glitter effect products in house, so quality control happens at every stage from file review to printing to final inspection, and a Diamond Glitter run is ready in up to 5 business days. Uneven application means patchy sparkle, and this process is built to keep the shine consistent.
Every glitter order includes free digital proofs with no hidden setup fees, and the glitter is built into the product price rather than added at checkout. Across all 4OVER4.COM orders, on-time delivery is 99.8%, and free samples ship on request, so you can feel the finish before you order and trust it will arrive when you need it.

Glitter Effect Printing FAQ
What paper stocks work best for glitter effect prints?
Heavier stocks like 16pt and 32pt give the coating the best foundation, and the thicker the card, the more premium it feels. Dark stocks such as black and deep jewel tones make the reflective particles pop more than lighter backgrounds.
How long does production take for glitter effect orders?
Most glitter effect products produce in about 5 to 7 business days, since the specialty coating adds a step over standard printing. Rush options may be available on select products, so check the specific product page for current estimates.
Can I add glitter to just part of my design?
Yes. Spot glitter puts sparkle on specific elements like a logo, border, or icon while leaving the rest of the design clean, which creates contrast. Full coverage gives maximum impact but can soften very small text.
Will the glitter coating rub off or fade over time?
No. The reflective particles are sealed inside the coating, so they won't shed, scratch off, or lose their sparkle with normal handling. Your prints stay just as bright months later as they did on day one.
Can glitter be combined with other finishes?
Yes. Many customers pair glitter with raised printing, spot UV, or metallic foil for layered, tactile results. The Diamond Glitter products use larger reflective particles when you want the shine turned up further.
How do I set up my file, and do I get a proof?
Add a separate spot color layer to your design file marking where the glitter should sit, then upload it with your artwork. 4OVER4.COM includes free digital proofs with every order so you can confirm placement before anything prints.
