The Allkotes embellishment GlitterKote is now available in a range of colours, in addition to the silver and gold formats that it was initially launched in.
Those colours include blue, red, green, purple, lavender, white, blue indigo, firebrand, cinnamon and more. Glitterkote has been developed by Allkotes in conjunction with a local supplier. It is available from Allkotes on a two day turnaround on sheet sizes up to 720x1020mm.
Darren Delaney, business development manager at Allkotes says, “GlitterKote is a dynamic product offering a real visual impact to the printed or unprinted coated surface. We have seen GlitterKote well matched and applied across all forms of visual merchandise everything from POS material, Magazine Covers, DVD packaging, Book Covers, Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Cartons, Post & Greeting Cards and Business Cards.
“Some of the many uses of GlitterKote include the covers of Marie Claire magazine, Retail World, Convenience Store and for event programmes for shows such as Sleeping Beauty on Ice, Sleeping Beauty, High School Musical and Moonshadow. The Home Entertainment industry is another market where packaging for Ice Age 1, 2 and 3, The Wiggles, Hi Five, Austen Powers Shagadelic Box and Tinkerbell have all used GlitterKote to such clever effect.
Delaney says that there is no danger of the glitter coming off, as it is inside a coating. He says, “One important fact to note about Allkotes GlitterKote is the quality of the finished product. The advantage of GlitterKote is that it is trapped and sealed inside the coating. We are sure there have been times when you have picked up an item where glitter has been applied and it ends up everywhere. This is where our GlitterKote sets itself apart because the particles are trapped.”
Delaney says, “As with all our products we are more than happy to develop the idea with the printer’s client.”
