Debossing is a finishing technique that presses a design into the surface of paper or paperboard, creating a recessed, dimensional impression. Using a custom die and pressure, it adds subtle depth and texture to elements like logos, patterns, and typography for a refined, high-end look.
Debossing is often used on custom packaging, labels, hang tags, and printed marketing pieces to elevate branding through touch as well as sight. It can be done as a blind deboss with no ink or foil, or combined with printing or foil stamping to create sharper contrast and a more dramatic effect.
