Second Surface – Under-Glass Aesthetics

Posted by LaFrance on Jun 20, 2024 8:44:43 AM

Much like the phrase “you can’t judge a book by its cover,” the same rings true for under-glass aesthetics in on-product branding. Where at first glance a badge may look to be all one surface - but when examined further, intricate details and elevated materials begin to shine through. Trend Forecaster states, “Clean lines and minimalist aesthetics of glass-like materials are well-suited to modern design styles, creating a sleek and sophisticated look.”  

While many of our products provide a dramatic impact with one material, layering materials adds an unmatched depth and dimension to create an even bolder aesthetic. The combination of transparent lightweight plastic with high-shine metals like electroform, zinc, stainless steel, or aluminum create a visual contrast. This “glass” or “second surface” effect highlights your product with brilliantly intricate details and a sleek feel on the fingertips.  

Our vast product offering allows you to explore the use of textures while creating visual depth.  Draw attention with transparent plastics with intricate layers to create stand-out aesthetics. Whether you incorporate designs molded into or printed on the rear of transparent plastic or create a lens effect with clear urethane doming on top of textured electroform, the intricate, layered aesthetics will resonate with your target markets. Utilize these unique pieces for your on-product branding, decorative trim, and functional components.
