Things to know

  • Neon inks are available in a limited number of colors including a transparent UV ink which is invisible under normal daylight. It only lights up under black light. It is not possible to match an exact Pantone color.* 
  • Neon inks can be combined with any standard colors
  • The neon effect is available on all can sizes
  • UV transparent ink is best used on large text or shapes on your design
  • Elements created using neon ink should be placed in the main body of the can
  • We recommend design ideas are submitted to ensure the final artwork is feasible*
  • Compatible with cold-fill and pasteurization processes up to 82°C but not for retort
