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.

Quick definitions to help you choose the right finish, faster.
Deboss(recessed): Design is pressed into the paper, creating a sunken impression. Ideal for minimal logos and deep tactile contrast.
Emboss(raised): Design is pushed upward from the surface, creating a raised relief. Works best with bold type and solid shapes.
Metallic Foil: Foil with reflective sheen (Gold, Rose Gold, Silver, Copper, Etc). Adds luxury and high visibility.
Pigment Foil(ink foil): Colored foil (White, Black, Blue, Green, Etc) with a matte or satin finish. Adds crisp contrast without metallic shine.
Quiet and premium or bold and stand‑out? Choose deboss (pressed in) for subtle elegance, or emboss (raised up) for strong visual impact -- each finish sets a distinct tone.
QR codes work well with foil. If the code is at least 0.8 inches wide with good spacing, metallic foil stamping adds impact without affecting scan accuracy.
Minimalist layout with a simple logo on the front and contact details on the back lets 45pt cotton and deboss/emboss finishes speak for themselves -- clean, tactile, and quietly confident.
