Question

What is embossing?

Answer

Embossing presses paper between a die and a matching counter-die to push a design up above the surface. The result is a raised, three-dimensional shape you can feel as well as see.

  • Raised effect: the design sits proud of the sheet for a tactile, dimensional look.
  • Combinations: it can be paired with ink or foil, or left blind (uninked) for a subtle tone-on-tone effect.
  • Best on: logos, monograms, and type on premium cards and covers.
