Embossing

Embossing is a printing and finishing technique that creates a raised design on paper, packaging, or labels. 

‍

It works by pressing the material between two metal plates, one with the design raised and one with it recessed, so the surface is pushed upward to form a 3D shape. Embossing is often used to highlight logos, text, patterns, or decorative elements and make them stand out both visually and through touch.

‍

Why it matters:

‍

Embossing adds a premium, high-quality feel to printed materials. It helps important elements catch attention, improves brand perception, and creates a tactile experience that makes packaging or labels feel more luxurious and memorable.
