Embossing is a finishing technique that creates a raised, three-dimensional impression on paperboard or paper using a custom die and pressure. It adds depth and tactile interest to design elements like logos, patterns, and typography, helping a piece feel more premium and distinctive.
Embossing is commonly used on custom packaging, hang tags, labels, and printed marketing materials to enhance brand presentation and shelf appeal. It can be done as a blind emboss with no ink or foil, or combined with printing or foil stamping for added contrast and impact.
