Decorations
think4D offers an extensive variety of advanced decorative and tactile decorations to elevate the experience for your customer!
Truly eye-catching innovation from first “sight” and “touch”!
Below is a list of our most popular decorations, but we are continually researching new, dynamic coatings to bring to our collection. Our design team can also work with your vision or concepts to recommend an ideal combination for optimal results!
Matte & Gloss UV
Gloss Coating: a high-gloss effect that can be applied in a spot or flood application, providing exceptional clarity, flexibility, and strong rub resistance.
Matte Coating: a matte effect that can be applied in a spot or flood application, providing a soft sheen with glare-reducing qualities, flexibility, and strong rub resistance.
The combination of these two coatings on the same printed piece can maximize the visual contrast between the matte and gloss areas. The results are striking, with the glossy areas “popping” and projecting out at the viewer.
Matte coatings are available for all product lines. Gloss coatings are available for IML and Rigid Box.
Foil
Providing a true metal effect, Cold Foil is available in a variety of colours including gold, silver, and bronze. Print can be applied over the cold foil to add a metallic shimmer behind graphics or branding. This over-printable foil creates a dynamic finish and a visual effect that will get your customers’ attention. Our expert design team understands the correct balance of contrast and design to achieve maximum appeal.
Foil is available for all product lines.
Mirafoil
MiraFoil is an over-printable UV metallic coating that is perfect for spot applications. This provides a matte-foil effect for a softer metal look. These coatings are fully recyclable and are a sustainable alternative to cold foil applications.
Mirafoil is available for thermoforming only.
Holographic Foil
To help your packaging shine, we have a variety of holographic foil patterns with exceptional brilliance and shimmer. For added security measures standard, cost-effective anti-counterfeiting foils or custom security solutions are also available.
Holographic Foil is available for all product lines.
Cast & Cure
Cast & Cure ™ provides a shimmering, holographic effect that is available in a variety of patterns and gradients which can be used as an accent or a focal point, integrating with the design for an outstanding visual accent. The application process involves the use of a reuseable micro-embossed film that transfers the holographic image directly onto the material during printing. Cast & Cure ™ is a sustainable and economic choice that is fully recyclable. For added security measures standard, cost-effective anti-counterfeiting Cast & Cure ™ or custom security solutions are also available.
Cast & Cure ™ is available for all product lines.
Glitter
Add sparkle and dazzle to your packaging with glitter! It’s effective in spot applications to highlight or accent existing design features with an eye-catching shimmer. Finely cut squares of metallized film with reflective properties add a subtle texture to the glittering effect of this coating.
Glitter is available for all product lines.
Pearlescent
Pearlescent coatings provide an iridescent, shimmering effect with subtle undertones of luminous colour. This effect is spot-applied and adds a sparkle that is similar to glitter coatings. For added intensity, a concentrated coating can be applied which adds a slight pearl-like colour to the effect. This coating is also available in gold shimmer.
Pearlescent is available for all product lines.
Texture
Texture coatings provide a dimensional finish for a tactile effect that consumers can touch and feel. This effect is spot-applied to produce several different textures such as leather, frosted glass, orange peels, or to create a wrinkle-type effect.
Texture can be applied to all product lines.
Gritty
Gritty coatings provide a sandpaper or granular effect, creating a genuine tactile feel to the package. This coating can be used in both spot or flood applications with exceptional clarity, flexibility, and strong rub resistance.
Gritty is available for all product lines.
Scent
Here’s the rub! Rub release scented coatings deliver an inviting fragrance with every touch. It’s the sweet smell of success!
Scent is available for all product lines.
