Overview

Registered embossing places an embossed design in alignment with another element such as foil stamping, printing and another embossed image to create unique and eye catching, 3D designs. Registered embossing has the capability of simulating textures through its layering of 3D designs. Ideal for creating the appearance of wood or stippled concrete, registered embossing adds depth and texture to folding carton and paper packaging designs.

Foil Stamping Process

Relief Pattern Configurations

Press Types of Embossing/ Debossing

Clamshell press

Derived from the similarity of an opening and closing clamshell, paper is placed between dies to create an emboss/deboss effect.

Straight stamp press

Like a stamp, single sheets of paper are fed between dies and are imprinted to create an emboss/deboss effect.

Roll press

Large paper rolls are fed through between dies continuously to emboss/deboss designs faster than other traditional methods.

Embossing/ Debossing Die

Embossing/Debossing Die

Two opposite dies that fit together like puzzle pieces, embossing and debossing dies feature a mirrored image of the custom design, one being raised and the other sunken into the die to create the desired look.
