Make sure your paper choice gives off the right message for your brand!
Print Process: Embossing/Debossing
Embossing is the process of pushing letters or a design above the surface of a sheet of paper which creates an eye-catching three-dimensional effect. Debossing is the reverse of this print method where the process creates an indented image.
Use embossing or debossing to emphasize a certain area, adding drama to the specific element. This technique is commonly used to emphasize a logo, company or important text.
