What is Embossing?
Embossing creates a dimensional impression of a design element on the surface of the paper. The impression is either raised (embossing) or sunken (debossing).
How is Embossing done?
It’s simple–think engraving without the ink! Embossing uses a custom-etched die under intense pressure to form a three-dimensional impression on the surface of paper. Instead of applying ink, the pressing pushes into the surface of the paper, creating dimension for the design element. Our quality papers withstand this technique gracefully with fantastic results.
How is Embossing Used?
Embossing gives a distinctive effect to design accents such as border patterns, monograms and motifs. It is also a traditionally popular choice for printing return addresses on envelopes of engraved wedding invitations. Because there is no ink, it is not generally used for the main text of the invitation.
What is Debossing?
Embossing is raised up from the surface of the paper, while debossing is sunken into the surface of the paper.
Debossing is how we create this panel shown below on multiple pieces.
