Our Specialty Finishing Services
We offer a wide range of specialty finishing services, to bring your printing project to the next level.
- Embossing and Debossing: Embossing raises an image or text above the surface of the paper, creating a tactile 3D effect, whereas debossing creates a recessed image or text below the surface of the paper, adding depth and dimension. Embossing and debossing are most ideal for business cards, invitations, and packaging to add a touch of luxury and sophistication.
- Foiling: Foiling adds metallic or coloured foil to your design, creating a shimmering effect. Foiling is perfect for branding materials, packaging, and labels to enhance visual appeal, and brand recognition
- Die Cutting: This uses a custom made die to cut intricate shapes or patterns into your printed materials. Die cutting can be used in many scenarios to create unique shapes for business cards, invitations and packaging.
- Scoring and Perforation: Scoring creates a crease in the paper, allowing for easy folding. Perforation creates a small line of holes in the paper, allowing for easy tearing. Perforation and scoring is most useful in brochures, booklets, and tear-off coupons to improve usability and functionality.
- Gloss and Matte Coatings: A gloss coating adds a high-shine finish to your printed materials, making them shiny and eye-catching. A matte coating will give a smooth, non-reflective finish, ideal for text heavy documents. The appropriate coating can be chosen based on your design and desired aesthetic.
