Looking for that extra special touch to add to your printing? Embellishing ensures that premium products are created with a luxurious finish.
The small detail that goes into printing, can give a flawlessly elegant finish that creates an unforgettable piece of print. We understand that luxury print should leave a lasting impression. That is why truly great print is more than just ink on paper.
Touch is almost just as important as creating something visually beautiful. The tips of our fingers are filled with nerve endings, which make us sensitive to texture.
Consider when you are handing over a brochure to a potential client, or when a customer picks up your brochure. A texture that is three dimensional, creates a strong and sensual stimulant.
Embellishing involves the application of a foil, or embossing to your design. The foil can be stamped into fine details, logos or as a whole overall pattern in your luxury brochure. The Embossing or Debossing creates an indented or raised image and can be used with or without the foil over the top.
The technique of embellishing on printed texts dates all the way back to around 400 AD. Scribes in monasteries in Ireland decorated the boarders of important religious texts with incredibly intricate images. The gold leaf was used to highlight and illuminate areas of their illustrations.
Luckily these days, we can achieve the same finish without breaking the bank. We no longer use real gold, but our techniques continue to create the same beautiful and luxurious effect.
Traditionally, embellishing used only gold or silver. However, with modern technology, all sorts of colours and finishes are available to make your design shine.
Embellishing can add elegance to your print, which commonly can be used by adding foiled letterings or patterns. The reflective foil can be stamped into details, fonts, or whole designs. When catching the light, the foiling can add movement to the image or text.
