What would you give for a few seconds more of a client’s attention to your printed materials? Think of all the ways you could leverage that window of extra engagement with your messaging.
For the creative directors and brand managers who take advantage of the state of the art printing technology offered by H&H Graphics, that’s not just wishful thinking. It’s real time, real engagement and a real advantage over the competition in grabbing – and retaining – customer focus.
That’s what GDS Branding and ESPN Argentina discovered when their search for a cutting-edge effect for the cover of an annual conference brochure led them to H&H Graphics and the Anything but Ordinary possibilities of thermochromic ink.
ESPN Subscriber Conference Brochure
ESPN Argentina wanted a brochure cover that would make the 1,500 attendees of its annual magazine subscriber conference stop and take notice. What they got was a publication that, according to the GDS graphic designer, was a mind-blowing experience! Thermochromic ink printing created a dynamic cover that changed from a solid color when touched, revealing a heat-activated message underneath.

Thermochromic Printing Technology
The technology that made this possible is perhaps best known in the liquid crystal form that was used to create the “Mood Rings” that burst into the culture in the 1970s. Thermochromic inks are also the secret behind the cold-activated mountains that appear on Coors beer cans.
At H&H Graphics, our expertise in thermochromic screen printing – and a wide variety of other custom effects for advertising, consumer packaging, product labels and more – provides clients with state of the art solutions to the challenge of trying to stand out from the competition.
