No, metallic inks have small flakes of metal which can be seen in direct sunlight. The metallic particles are much finer than glitter flakes and look like shimmer. Foil transfers are made using an entirely different printing technique. Foils use a 2-step process and are very shiny. Foil transfers tend to be less durable than a plastisol screen-printed transfer. We do not currently offer foil transfers, but we can screen print glitter transfers! Contact our support team for more info.
