Frequently Asked Questions

Find clear answers to common queries about our tactile print services, finishing techniques, and how to begin your project with Sensory Works.

  • What types of specialist print and sensory effects can Sensory Works provide?

    Should cover tactile UV, raised textures/varnishes, dimensional surfaces, visual effects, fragrance, premium finishing, packaging and tactile fine art, while explaining that the process is chosen around the required result.

  • How does the project process work?

    Our process starts with a consultation to understand your needs, followed by design collaboration, sample creation, and final production with quality checks at every stage.

  • Can Sensory Works support packaging and retail projects?

    Yes, we provide bespoke packaging solutions that combine tactile finishes with structural design to create unique, high-end packaging experiences.

  • What is required to start a project?

    To begin, share your project brief, visual, artwork, sample, photograph or simply an idea is enough to begin. We’ll review your requirements and arrange a consultation to discuss timelines, budgets, and technical details.

  • Can you reproduce the texture of an original artwork?

    We provide high-resolution fine art scanning to capture intricate details, ensuring your artwork is reproduced with exceptional clarity and colour accuracy.

  • I’m an artist - can Sensory Works Art help me create tactile editions of my work?

    Yes. Sensory Works Art introduces a "third commercial tier" positioned between a unique original painting and a standard flat giclée print. By combining high-resolution METIS surface scanning with precision 3D texture reproduction, we produce limited, numbered tactile editions that preserve the physical depth, brushwork, and surface character of your original work. All artist collaborations are subject to initial artwork assessment, scan suitability, and production testing.

  • Can you create tactile artwork from a photograph?

    Yes. Flat digital photographs can be converted into tactile media using high-resolution surface mapping and digital texture rendering. Custom height maps are generated from the image data, allowing specific elements—such as highlights, shadows, grain, or focal patterns—to be selectively raised using tactile UV inks to add physical depth and texture to a 2D photograph.
