    Great Western Holographics, Glitters & Patterns

    Great Western's 800 and 900 series: films that carry a pattern rather than a colour. Holographic sparkle, glitter grounds and split effects. We publish no colour swatch for the patterned ones on purpose — averaging a rainbow gives you a muddy brown that exists nowhere on the foil. What you see here is a photograph of the vendor's own stamped card, which is the only honest way to show them. These read best on solid shapes and heavier type; they will fight fine rules.

    These films carry a pattern, not a colour, so there is nothing here to approximate with a swatch — what you see is a photograph of the vendor's own stamped card. How the pattern reads depends on the light it is under and the size you stamp it at, which is why we stamp a sample on your stock before the run.
