How Does Radiant Light Film Work?
• Radiant Films are multilayer
optical constructions
Incident wave
• The films consist of over 200
layers that affect light rays
• Multilayer reflectors amplify this
effect.
• Each boundary between layers
reflects a fraction of the incoming
light.

• By controlling the thickness of
each layer, researchers can
determine how these light waves
will interfere and thus which
colors of light will be reflected.

Why use Radiant Light Film in your design?
Radiant Light Films
• Build a visual world for your brand or product.
• Your design is important to notice! Consumers see colors,
shapes and symbols before seeing words
• It helps to design your product to address the “five second
sweet spot” marketers seek for their products. “During the first
one to two seconds, a brand’s colors are seen. Symbols and words are
elaborated in the next three to five seconds.”
• Packaging colors and shapes can target the consumer’s
subconscious.
• A design can enhance consumer “recall” of your product.
