The Pantone colour for 2018 is Ultra Violet, which just happens to be the science behind what makes neon colours fluoresce and glow with an appealing eye-catching brightness. If Ultra Violet is the colour for 2018, neon printing is set to be the breakthrough product of 2018.
Read on for more about the waves that neon is set to make.
We’ve enjoyed pastels and earth tones for a few years as the key colours for design and print, but now there is a veer to the other end of the spectrum with a host of neon products muscling their way in.
Back to the future with Neon Printing
1980’s pop culture is becoming trendy all over again and graphics and design are starting to reflect this with the resurgence of bright and contrasting neon colours. But this time round design has grown up; Neon is now also being used to enhance a design rather than just as a single use colour. Swapping out magenta for Hot Pink or adding a fifth neon colour to CMYK printing is creating some startling printed effects.
Electric colour schemes from the 80’s and 90’s are starting to gain momentum, combined with an increase in abstract and geometric patterns. For a riot of noise Neon is starting to make a name for itself all over again.
Use Neon Printing to Wow your Audience
There is no doubt that neon printing is going to burst on to the scene this year and is currently revving up for a big entrance. We are seeing many more neon based designs coming through – some focusing on a single colour design for simple ‘text based’ products like greeting cards, whilst others are far more experimental with clashing colours and texture driven backgrounds.
Whatever your neon need we can help achieve the effect that you are looking for on the product you want. If we don’t already have what you want on our website, just contact us on 01903 742003 for advice or perhaps even some inspiration.
