Special effect finishes can be used to create and enhance eye-catching designs but they truly come into their own when creating tactility.

From finishes that encourage interaction such as thermochromic finishes that change when heated by touch, to fragrance burst finishes that releases a fragrance when handled.

Glow in the dark finishes and photochromic inks both add surprise when used to reveal hidden elements of the artwork; as does silver latex, often used on scratch cards and parking permits but can also be used creatively.
