Chrome FX

Picture
Gleaming and patterned metallic foils add unique, eye-catching dimension to any printed piece.  Combine Carlson’s FX process with plastic materials, and you have a stunning product that is sure to impress.

WHAT IS CHROME FX?

Chrome FX is a process where a silver (chrome) film is applied to a clear plastic material creating a unique effect (FX).  The “FX” part of the process is how the reverse printed 4-color process graphics interact with the film placed behind the graphics.  The film is not limited to just silver, but can be used with any metallic foil enhancing any product.​

FX POSSIBILITIES

  • Add a raised coating outlining specific areas of the     art adding more dimension to the printed piece.
