Giant Snow Globes

Our Giant Snow Globes are visually impressive, with excellent optical properties that create a magically immersive environment. They’re highly transparent, allowing for a clear view of the contents within, and their curved shape allows for optimal viewing from many angles. Perfect for Christmas displays or museum exhibits, these giant snow globes are a must-have for creating an engaging, imaginative atmosphere during the holidays.

We make most of our Giant Snow Globes by chemically bonding two plastic hemispheres together, then sanding and polishing the seams. This allows us to build large Plastic Spheres that maintain good strength and structural integrity. If a hole is required, we can put the hole through the seam, or on the apex. The hole placement is determined if the seam is vertical or horizontal. The last step is packaging.

Our plastic spheres are most commonly constructed of either polycarbonate or acrylic.
