Embossing, debossing and foiling adds a touch of luxury to invitations, booklets and other premium stationery. Embossing and debossing can be blind or with a colour, which includes traditional metallic foils (gold, silver, copper), as well as neon and matt pigment colours. This type of finishing is generally used with heavy weight cards from 300gsm – to 900gsm but works for any weight from 160gsm. Foil edging is also available for business cards for an extra premium finish.
We all enjoy a bit of luxury; it represents indulgence and grandeur, all of which we sometimes miss in our day-to-day. At Yellow Print, we want to change that. We offer embossing and foil detailing services on our stationery options to bring a bit of richness to the mundane.
First, what are foiling, embossing and debossing?
Foiling is the process of adding a fine layer of foil onto the stationery of your choice! It comes in a range of colours and textures including the traditional metallic colours we all know and love (silver, gold etc) as well as neon and matt pigment colours which are great for adding some subtle details to your final product!
Commonly, foiling goes hand in hand with a process called debossing (where a pattern on the material is indented into the final product) or embossing (where the foil is stamped onto a raised design) which is great for adding those finer, special details. However, embossing and debossing don’t need to be foiled, and you can ask for your product blind embossed for a bit of dimension!
Typically, the paper used in this process is great for heavy-weight cards from 300gsm to 900gsm but can be applied on weights much less! Foiling and embossing are great for luxurious events and items including invitations and business cards to leave a lasting impression on the receiver. Perhaps it’s your special day and you’re looking to give your guests a taste of what’s to come or maybe you’re at an important business event and you want to make your business cards stand out with foil edging. Either way, it’s a great way to add a premium finish to your final product.
Why should you consider foiling and embossing?
Well, aside from the obvious aesthetic benefit, embossing is extremely tactile and creates a 3D effect which will create a special touch that your clients, guests and customers won’t forget. It is also much easier to foil onto something embossed and debossed and stands out more than your conventional option. We also just think it looks really cool!
