Embossing and Foil Stamping

Foil stamping is a specialty printing process that applies foil films using metal dies, heat and pressure. Embossing, on the other hand, uses male and female dies to press the paper, raising specific areas to create a raised effect.

Both of these techniques are design enhancements that can give your printed piece a higher-end feel. Many foil choices are available, like metallic, white gloss, black gloss, gunmetal, holographic and more. Foil stamping combined with embossing creates a striking 3-D look. Both can be used on a wide range of applications, including:

• Cartons
• Direct Mail
• Stationery
• Labels
• Pocket Folders
• Postcards
• And more!

From cutting, folding, saddle-stitching, perforating, scoring, die cutting and gluing, collating, stapling, numbering, drilling, mounting, tabbing, binding (comb, spiral, Wire-O and perfect), shrink wrapping, padding and laminating — you name it — we will make sure your printed item turns out great!
