Cast & Cure

Picture
Holographic effects differentiate you in the market.  Let Carlson create a unique visual appeal to your product or brand with Cast & Cure.

WHAT IS CAST & CURE?

Cast & Cure is a decorative coating process that integrates “casting” (or film) and “curing”  techniques to form a consistent high quality surface that can include ultra high gloss, matte and holographic finishes on a variety of  substrates. Cast & Cure applies micro-embossing light-diffracting effects into the surface of  materials. The film acts as an embossing tool to manipulate the surface of the coating leaving the desired pattern on the surface of the printed material.

WHY USE CAST & CURE?

DESIGNED TO DANCE
​Each pattern is made to capture light, giving your design a dynamic sense of movement and enticing customers to take a second look.

VARIETY OF PATTERNS
