Exclusive Finishing for Your Labels

With blind embossing, only the material is deformed. An additional hot foil is not used.  In contrast to relief embossing, the optical effect is not quite as plastic, but rather more tangible. The additional use of hot foil in relief embossing gives the whole element a strength of expression that would not be possible with blind embossing alone.

Refinements make your label something special. Use hot foil stamping, protective varnish, or film lamination to take your product’s presentation to the next level and give it a high-quality and elegant look. Relief embossing is an optical highlight and is not without reason considered the queen of finishing touches.

Relief embossing combines blind embossing and hot foil stamping. This means the material is formed multi-dimensionally at the desired position using an embossing tool and then additionally finished with a hot foil.  This deformation can be either positive (upwards) or negative (downwards). At label.co.uk, we only offer positive embossing.

Special advantage of relief embossing: Individual elements can be embossed at different heights and then consist of different layers. In this way, the element can be touched and an exciting 3D effect is created. Technically, all elements can be highlighted with relief embossing: Fonts, a logo, individual structures or even entire surfaces. There are no limits to your creativity here.

Please note: Relief embossing can only be used on paper. Foils are too thin for this finishing method. There must also be a minimum line thickness. With positive embossing, this is 0.4 mm.
