The key difference
Underprint vs. Overprint
Understand the key difference between overprint and underprint. It shapes both the visibility and safety of your reflectors.
The difference between overprint and underprint in the dark.
Print on top of the foil
Overprint
Bold colours by day
Overprint sits above the reflective layer: better visibility by day, reduced reflectivity by night.
Print under the foil
Underprint
Full safety at night
Underprint places the print beneath the reflective layer, giving slightly softer colours. But it keeps the reflective layer working at full strength, the safer choice when protection matters most.
Just two questions stand between you and the right print method for your project. Pick an option and get a clear recommendation.
