What happens to text during the embossing process?

Embossing presses your design into the paper, so a small amount of movement is expected as the emboss die makes contact. Text and fine elements can shift slightly during that step.

• What happens: text and design elements may move a little as the paper is pressed.
• Why it is normal: it is standard variation for a mechanical emboss process, not a defect.
• How to design for it: keep critical text and details away from the edges so a slight shift does not clip anything.

Building in a comfortable margin around embossed areas is the best way to keep your final piece looking clean.
