EMBOSSING / DEBOSSING

Precise Continental has 6 presses designed for embossing or debossing. These presses can also diecut and foil stamp.

KEEP IN MIND

Rule thickness. Fine lines appear thinner when embossed versus being printed offset. Request a rule reference sheet to properly specify your rule widths before manufacturing.
Small text. Text naturally loses character density when embossed, which can be compensated for in the design or prepress stages. Discuss your design goals with your consultant to ensure the end result is one you anticipate.
Add time to your schedule. Embossing dies are often handcrafted, which adds 3 to 7 days to a production schedule, notwithstanding other scheduling and manufacturing considerations.

ABOUT

Embossing is a raised technique similar to engraving, minus the use of ink. Paper is pressed between a plate and counter, imparting a 3D image. Alternatively, debossing imparts a depression into the paper. Both embossing and debossing are delineated by carved shadows, and can be used in combination with offset or foil stamping to add depth and impact to a design. Dies can be sculpted as single- or multi-level to create striking, multi-dimensional designs.
