Embossing & Foil Stamping

Embossing

Embossing and debossing refers to the impression of a design, lettering, decoration on a surface such as paper, to create this effect printing plates are pressed together against the surface of the paper. Embossing produces a raised impression while debossing creates a depressed impression.

Embossing creates a new dimension to your project. It creates an elegant piece. It changes your project from ordinary to extraordinary as it conveys a different meaning through your project.

If you are considering embossing but needing a short run, you may want to consider NexPress Dimensional Coating. It is a clear dimensional ink that adds texture to your project.

Foil Stamping

It’s a commercial printing process, is the application of metallic or pigmented foil on to a solid surface by application of a heated die onto foil, making it permanently adhere to the surface below leaving the design of the dye.

Keep In Mind

  • Be aware that embossing is a process that manipulates your paper and as such also manipulates your design
  • Use more kerning between your type as letters can merge together
  • It will also make elements look smaller, therefore you should avoid fine details
  • Keep your elements bolder
