Considerations for Embossing & Debossing

Artwork

It can be more difficult to press in or raise very fine details due to the nature of this printing method. Simpler is always better. Read more on Artwork.

Colors

You are restricted to the color of the material you choose. You are unable to add any additional colors unless you do a foil stamp.

This simply means a color is added to the item while it is being debossed. You are limited to one color and it’s typically gold or silver. To visualize this, think of a Bible with a personal name on it.

Type of Material

Choosing an Emboss or Deboss method will limit you to the types of material you can brand on.

Number of Locations

Them material will limit you on how many locations you can emboss or deboss. It's typically only one location and sometimes the size or location will be limited to the object.

Quantity

It is difficult to print low quantities with either of these options. Generally, once the minimum is reached, and that depends on the product, there are additional price breaks at set quantities.
