Publicide’s Specialty Printing department brings embossing and debossing from exquisite fifteenth-century aristocratic imperative to your personalized stationery. Embossing and debossing of luxury goods once afforded only to royal business and other illustrious matters now imprints its good looks onto a myriad of tangible products.

Illustrious Matters

Copper and aluminum plates are used to put pressure, creating either raised or recessed relief images and designs in paper and other materials. An embossed pattern is raised against the background, while a debossed pattern is sunken into the surface of the material

Blind Emboss + Letterpress Cards 179# Cotton, Crane’s Crest Cover Paper, Pearl White With Cut Finish.

Though foil stamping and various dyes and inks are frequently used in tandem with embossing and debossing, the process on its own creates a unique flair to your brand. Simple and impressive. Bold yet subtle, an embossed business card displays a refined sensibility without being overly precious.

Refined Sensibility

Crests, monograms, and addresses embossed on paper and envelopes are pounded out on ordinary letterpresses. At Publicide we most frequently use our Heidelberg Windmill Letterpress. We use metal counters, though some printers also epoxy/polymer. Publicide’s Specialty Printing department believes that the metal cuts sharper and makes a superior emboss. A “Counter” is needed for every emboss to push the paper from the opposite side.
