Review on Darice GX-1700-25 Glitter Silk Assortment, Multicolor, 8.5 x 11 Card Stock by Amber Perez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

STINKY PAPER

This shiny cardboard box from Darice arrived with a terribly strong acrylic monomer smell! His smell preceded his arrival at the door and permeated the packaging! My husband, a polymer chemist, recognized the smell immediately. At his recommendation I have now laid out the whole box to let it evaporate so it can be used. Acrylic monomer is not only used to seal the glitter, but also for gluing or laminating paper, glitter and backing layers to each sheet of card stock. The colors of this box are great, vivid, bright, beautiful, but the smell is completely unpleasant.

Pros
  • Paper
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
