Quick answer

Embossing is a technique in which the logo is pressed into the material using a brass die under heat and pressure - creating a tactile 3D relief with an elegant, luxurious look. It can be blind (without colour) or with metallic foil (gold, silver). Ideal for leather, diaries, covers and fabric; we prepare a free graphic design and a price quote within 1 hour.

How it works

How does embossing work?

From die production to the finished relief. We manage the entire process for you - you just approve the design.

  1. 1 Die production We produce a brass die from the logo. It can be reused for future runs.
  2. 2 Heat press The die presses the logo into the material under heat and pressure - either without colour (blind embossing) or with metallic foil.
  3. 3 Finished relief The logo emerges as a tactile 3D relief - elegant, refined and durable.
Advantages and limitations

When does embossing pay off?

It excels with its luxurious, tactile effect on leather and diaries. To help you decide correctly, we will also tell you when another technique is better.

Elegant tactile effectThe logo can be felt as well as seen - giving the item a luxurious and premium feel.
High durabilityThe relief withstands wear and remains prominent for years - it will not wash or rub off.
Blind embossing and foil optionsA subtle colourless relief, or a coloured or metallic foil (gold, silver).
Reusable dieThe finished die is reused for repeat orders - the unit price decreases for larger runs.

Things to bear in mind

Higher initial costDie production is most economical for larger runs - for just a few pieces it is more expensive.
Not for photographic designsEmbossing is about shape and relief, not full-colour graphics - printing is more suitable for photos.

Frequently asked questions about embossing

What it is, how it works, blind embossing vs foil, which products it suits and combinations.

Embossing is a technique in which the logo is pressed into the material using a brass die under heat and pressure. It creates a tactile 3D relief with an elegant, luxurious look - the logo can be not only seen but also felt.

We produce a brass die from the logo. Under heat and pressure it presses the logo into the material - either without colour (blind embossing) or with metallic foil. The die is reused for repeat orders, so the unit price decreases for larger runs.

Blind embossing creates a subtle colourless relief - understated and elegant. Foil embossing uses a coloured foil, most commonly gold or silver, which adds colour and a metallic effect to the logo.

Primarily leather and faux leather - diaries and calendars, wallets, covers. We also do embossing on fabric: blankets, towels, hoodies and t-shirts.

Yes. Embossing can be combined with embroidery or printing to create a unique and complex design. We will advise you based on the product and logo.

A vector file is best (.ai, .svg, .eps, .pdf with outlines) - we use this to produce the die. Full details in the guide on how to prepare your logo.
