Blind or tinted? Blind embossing and debossing involve creating raised or recessed designs on paper without adding ink or foil. Coloring or tinting embossing consists of applying ink to enhance the visual impact of the embossing. In both cases, the designs can be minimalist or intricate, ranging from timeless and traditional to eye-catching and modern. Flat areas within textured designs are often reserved for printing wording, adding understated drama to panel invitations.
What are print pairings?
Embossing and debossing can be combined with other print processes, like foils and colored inks, with stunning results.
