Video transcript

  1. 0:00Ask for '3D' decals and you may get three different products.
  2. 0:05'3D' means two things: tactile relief you can feel, or visual depth from light on flat film. Say which on the spec sheet, or expect 'no 3D' reviews.
  3. 0:16Water-slide film releases in water, held by base and top coat. Raised sheets stick dry but can lift on curves. Foil leaves metal: depth with almost no height.
  4. 0:28Name the applier first. A technician with gel and a lamp opens up water-slide and foil; at a kitchen table, dry peel-and-stick fits.
  5. 0:39Check art per format: white underbase for water-slide, relief off the free edge, bold foil lines. Then wear-test real hands and log each failure mode.
  6. 0:50If raised texture leads your range, offer low and high relief.
  7. 0:55Send your artwork for samples and a quotation.
