The key difference: overprint or underprint? Choose the right method for your needs, balancing visibility and safety.
The key difference
Underprint vs. overprint
Understand the key difference between overprint and underprint – it determines both the visibility and the safety properties of your reflectors.
The difference between overprint and underprint in the dark.
Print on top of the film
Overprint
Bold colours by day
The print sits on top of the reflective layer. Better visibility in daylight, but reduced reflection in the dark.
Print beneath the film
Underprint
Full safety at night
The print sits beneath the reflective layer. Full reflectivity is preserved – ideal for safety products.
Just two questions stand between you and the right print method for your project. Pick an option and get a clear recommendation.
