Embossed business cards, printed full color on 300gsm artboard,  have a striking and bold 3- dimensional look & feel and are the executive and classy business card. The Embossed shape at one side looks sunk on the other side.

Add a ‘third dimension’ to your card!

Embossed business cards have a striking and bold 3- dimensional look & feel. The surface of the paper is raised by pressing from the reverse side of the paper, which add a touch of class and texture for grabbing attention and leave a deep impression.

Detail:
Estimated production time:        2 business days (*should be added to overall printing production time.)
Applicable side:                              Press embossing can only be applied to one side of the cards   
                                                            (recommended for single sided designs)
Maximum size :                              1.57"X0.79"/ 40mmX20mm
Type:                                                  Blind Press Embossing or Ink Embossing

Blind Press Embossing: embossing only over the paper. An embossed image that is not stamped over a printed image, not foil stamped, and the resulting raised image is the same color as the paper is blind embossing.
Ink Embossing: print with ink first and embossing applied over. Embossing applied to a printed image. It refers to embossing over ink.

Please note: for the technical limitation during the embossing process, there is a unavoidable offsetting (up to 1mm) to any direction from your design. So we don't reccomend to do ink embossing on small text and thin lines, just a little shifting will cause the embossing can't sit on the text at all and ruin your design.  And 7daysprint will not be liable for the reasonable offsetting.

1. What is Embossing Business Cards?
Embossing offers a unique look that stands out amongst the competition. To highlight your company name and logo for a strong first impression, just make it embossed！Create raised text or pattern and make your business cards feel simple and elegant.

2. Where to Add Embossing to Your Card?
The best place to add embossing to your business cards is the logo. Most logos are designed to be eye-catching, so embellishing them with embossing is a natural fit. You could also apply embossing to the company or contact details, which produces a pseudo raised-letter effect and is extremely cool looking. 

3. Can the Embossing be done on any area of your business cards?
For the technical limitation during the embossing process, there is a unavoidable offsetting (up to 1mm) to any direction from your design. So we don't reccomend to do ink embossing on small text and thin lines, just a little shifting will cause the embossing can't sit on the text at all and ruin your design.  And 7daysprint will not be liable for the reasonable offsetting. 


4. Why the foil colour on the final cards looks different with the colour in the artwork I supplied?
Foil Accent is the process of stamping a shiny, thin metal die onto printed card stock. Do't like full colour printing, the foil colour is supplied physically and can't be customized.  So you can't require the foil to match a color in your design. We strongly suggest you can require our sample cards to see the if the foil colour we made can meet your needs before you place an order.
