Specialty flex printing

Specialty flex prints differ from normal flex prints due to the special visual effects in the printing foils.

Glitz is a very fine mix of the foil color's spectrum, moving from darker to very shiny particles. It shines and glistens intensely, especially as light catches it at different angles. The foil has a slight texture to it.
Shimmer has a metallic look to it, giving it a slightly reflective shimmer similar to that found on classic cars. The foil is smooth to the touch.
Camouflage A printing foil with camouflage optics.The speckled look in green and brown can typically be seen on army gear.
Glow In The Dark In daylight it looks like an ordinary white print, but in the dark it delivers its full potential – a green and shiny print.

Designs with specialty flex prints retain their vibrant color and glisten even after many washes.
