A blind debossing is an impression without using ink. It is a subtle way to create structure without colour. With some designs we recommend using a little splash of transparent white to add more body to the blind debossing.

The coloured edges can be the final step in the finishing of a production. The thicker the stock the better the effect. This is another way of adding colour to your project.

Die cutting is a process where a machine uses a sharp die to cut materials like paper, fabric, or metal into specific shapes. It allows for precise, repeatable cuts that would be difficult to achieve manually.

Our studio hosts a couple of Heidelberg Tiegel platen presses and with those we have certain limitations. Digital printing is not a standard product for us but we are happy to add it to a production here or there. For example if we have to print pictures or business cards with a large number of different names.

If you require a more complex product like boxes, slip cases, or other we recommend making a prototype in original size and material before production. Please get in touch.

Laminating, or pasting as it is sometimes referred to, is the simple process of gluing two or more sheets of paper together. Depending on the volume of the production it can extend the delivery times due to the drying process.

Embossing is the process of raising text or an image above the level of the print material, so it sits slightly proud of the material around it. To emboss print, you’ll need two plates (dies), one of which has a 3D render of the image or word you need to emboss, and the other with a recess exactly the same size and shape. The embossing is always visible from both sides.

The edges can also be finished with metallic foils in different colours. We don't do this in-house, so delivery times have to be discussed before each production.

Hot foil stamping foil is a specialized film used to permanently transfer metallic, holographic, or pigmented colors onto a surface using heat and pressure. Metallic foils are more robust than pigmented foils and are therefore easier to use in combination with uncoated paper stock.

Letterpress printing is a centuries-old relief printing technique where inked, raised surfaces—traditionally metal or wood type—are pressed directly onto paper, creating a distinct, tactile, and slightly indented impression. The effect works best with paper stock from 500g and more.

We develop packaging from the ground up and produce it with all the trimmings: folding boxes, slip cases or slot-together constructions, finished on request with embossing, hot foil and more. Die-cutting, creasing and finishing all come from one source. For the development phase we recommend our Dummy Service (see above).

Relief embossing is a print finishing technique that is used primarily for high-quality printing. It raises the design in 3D and is often combined with hot foil. Same as with embossing, the motif is visible from both sides.
