Deboss vs Emboss
Debossing without foil. Debossing presses the design into the paper. (recessed) Deeper tactile feel - Best for minimalist logos and negative-space designs.
Embossing without foil. Embossing raises your design above the surface, creating a distinct tactile relief. This technique is optimized for bold, heavier type to deliver a stronger and more defined look.
