Default Glitter Vinyl, is there such a thing

I am new here, to this category. I see there are GLITTER Vinyl HEAT transfers.

Are there just plain Glitter vinyls for the plotter? To just stick not for making shirts and stuff?

Thanks!

Sure, check with some of the larger sign supply companies. Harbor sales, Fellers, Beacon. They all have online catalogs. Some might be metal flake, but should be able to find something close to what you need. Good luck.

Yes there is ,, but not all glitter is created equal,, some of the glitter has a lot to be desired.

Absolutely, I have a few different ones that I bought from:
Auto Graphic Films for Vinyl Cutters from Beacon Graphic Systems

The price is surprisingly cheap in my opinion for them. They do sometimes get creases and air bubbles just sitting on the backing liner, but usually they flatten out ok. I found it best to disable my heat settings on my cutter (I use a SP300 which does print and cut).

I believe Avery also offers some glitter style vinyl. I had a sample roll of Avery's stuff and it was great, but the price tag in comparison was a lot more from what I recall.

Avery Ultra-Metallics from Beacon Graphic Systems

The rose quartz there may fit your need.

Also some more options available from FDC at:
FDC 2100 series Metallics - Beacon Graphic Systems

The cost on both is quite an increase, but if it's for a client, they can decide on how much they want to pay

Thought I'd give an update. Got some AVERY ULTRA METALLIC vinyl and it came out pretty good. Makes the design so much prettier and girlier!! Was easy to cut and weed. I'd recommend it!
