One of the largest markets for Moonshine® effect pigments is cardboard and polymer film packaging. The pigments are often used in cosmetics so matching the effect between the user product and packaging is an ideal way to highlight the product. Consumer goods are printed with effect pigment containing inks, into final applications such as tableware and textiles. With a thin substrate giving high aspect ratios with small particles, it is possible to create shimmer effects at high gloss levels. This is especially true with the unique Astral Effect Series, with 350nm thick borosilicate core.
