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 for Embossing area)

Standard size: within 20mm X20mm (oversized embossing also available at extra cost)

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.
If we do the embossing on the front side, it will affect the back of the card. The embossed part can be seen from the other side as well, like debossed.
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 reccommend 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 soprinting will not be liable for the reasonable offsetting.
