The new decade may be off to a rather unexpectedly rough start, but there are a few silver linings to be enjoyed nonetheless. For instance, there’s never been a more exciting time to be in the printing trade – there are so many fantastic techniques to choose from!
Today we take a look at embossing – the process of creating raised images or designs in paper and other materials – and how you can use it to great effect in your upcoming printing projects.
4 WAYS TO USE EMBOSSING LIKE A BOSS
Create Memorable Business Cards
A memorable business card is a thing of beauty. This age-old piece of leave-behind collateral has survived into the 21st century for a reason – when it’s executed to perfection it’s one of the simplest ways to leave a favourable impression with potential clients or collaborators. Adding embossing to a business card ups the tactile factor of the card, making it all the more memorable.
Dream Up Gorgeous Labels for Upmarket Food & Wine
Food and wine labels are yet another example of a space in which embossing shines. It instantly elevates the look and feel of a product. In fact, you can create an entire label using only embossing if you really want to venture outside the confines of the norm. Just look at this fantastic example of a local wine label that consists exclusively of embossed elements.
Tailor Magical Wedding Invites
Embossing is also a great option for wedding invites. If ever there was an opportunity to push out the boat and get really glam on a printing project, a wedding invitation would be it. At a time when most couples opt for digital invites and wedding websites, receiving a beautifully embossed invitation in the mail would certainly leave a big impression with your guests.
Upgrade Business Stationery
Corporate stationery and letterheads don’t have to be boring. When you bring embossing into the mix, it can add a tinge of old-world charm that is ideal for businesses like florists, dressmakers and other industries that have one foot in a more glamorous age. Just imagine receiving a quote from your wedding designer on a creamy piece of paper with a lovely embossed logo at the top, for instance!
