Waste film produced during our sequin punching process
TSSC sequins are made using 20% recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate), offering a more sustainable alternative to conventional sequins made entirely from virgin plastics.
Using a percentage of recycled plastic helps reduce reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels, lowers the energy required during manufacture and associated emissions, and helps reduce plastic waste destined for landfill or incineration.
Punchinella makes further use of the material by giving the waste film left behind during the sequin punching process another purpose. This listing is for the Punchinella waste film, not the sequins themselves.

What they work well for
These sequins are suitable for hand stitching onto garments, costumes, accessories, and soft furnishings. The side hole makes them ideal for overlapping applications, fringing effects, and drape-style decoration.
These sequins are made from 20% recycled plastic film punched in the UK and available in a wide range of colours and finishes. We are transitioning to 100% recycled, Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified plastic. Selected colours are already available, with more coming soon, and we are working towards a fully compostable sequin and actively researching plant-based alternatives in collaboration with UK universities and partners.
Returns are accepted within 14 days on unopened, unused items. As sequins are a small loose product, opened packs cannot be returned unless faulty. If something isn't right, please contact us and I will do my best to help.

Guidance for choosing, using and caring for this sequin. Explore all FAQs about choosing, using and caring for sequins.
Punchinella is the patterned material left after sequins are punched from the film. Its open, repeating pattern makes it useful for bold texture, overlays, trims and experimental surface work.
Punchinella is supplied as a connected sheet or length rather than individual pieces. Use it where you want the negative space and repeating pattern to be part of the design.
Yes. Cut a small test piece first, then choose a stitch, edge finish or other method that suits your fabric and intended use. Testing helps you avoid snagging and gives the cleanest edge for your design.
Treat the attached piece gently and test your construction method first. For finished textiles, gentle hand washing is recommended; avoid machine washing, steam and harsh chemicals.
