The instant invention provides an asymmetrical orientable flake for use in a carrier. The flake includes a metal reflector layer and a coating of a 5 carrier-repellent material coated on a single side of the flake, for orienting the flake in the carrier so that the flake rests upon the carrier having a first side at least partially out of the carrier and a second side immersed in the carrier. The flake has an asymmetrical feature, such as a color shifting coating on a single surface of the reflector layer. Alternatively, the asymmetrical feature is 10 either a relief symbol or an asymmetrical profile of the flake. |
