NEW Mirri Sparkle

Legion Paper is excited to annouce we now stock Mirri Sparkle, a new product that offers customers a distinctive ‘glitter’ texture that sparkles in the light.

Mirri Sparkle has already received great interest from the high-end packaging and point of sale markets. The unusual film has a glitter texture, providing a tactile experience, as well as a glitter effect with a metallic luster and shimmer. 

When you overprint on Mirri Sparkle, either through digital or litho means, you can create any colour ‘sparkle’ you wish. If you use white ink, it masks the glitter effect, adding more subtlety to the film and design.

Glitter will not come off on your hands nor in your equipment. Most existing "Glitter"-Type papers have rough, "sandpappery" feeling but Mirri Sparkle is fairly smooth. 

“We have had a lot of interest in Mirri Sparkle from a wide range of markets, due to it’s unique glittering shimmer that will create a spectacular sparkle effect for packaging, point of sale, social stationary, craft and many other market places”.
