Question

Can I combine engraving with other printing techniques?

Answer

Yes, engraving pairs with other specialty techniques for a layered effect that adds both visual and tactile interest to a piece.

  • For paper products: die cutting adds custom shapes that complement engraved details.
  • For a contrasting texture: combine engraving with other finishes so the recessed engraving plays against a smooth or raised element.
  • For a different functional surface: dry erase printing offers a reusable, writable finish as an alternative approach for whiteboards or signage.

Layering a couple of complementary techniques is the easiest way to make an engraved piece feel truly custom rather than one-note.
