| EMBOSSED Business Cards | Embossing (or debossing, where applicable) will make your cards unique by visibly raising/indenting the surface. Embossing makes previously printed items, as well as non-printed items stand out. In the latter case, you can achieve a very interesting effect by embossing on white or uniform colour background. Embossing is done using two-part dies that we keep afterwards so that you can use them free of charge for further orders of the same product.
Embossing can be done on business cards made of 350 gsm double-coated card with laminate finish (matte, glossy, soft/touch).
The acceptable tolerance for matching embossing with print is 0.4 mm.
Embossing creates a raised surface on the face and an indented surface on the back.
 Embossing is performed on papers/cards:
- Wild 450g/m2, 900μm (!) - this is a unique paper produced with 35% cotton fiber. It is exceptionally spongy, dedicated to embossing. The embossing is exceptionally deep, the print resembles hand-made paper prints (there are non-uniformities on solids and tints), and the paper edges are not perfectly smooth after cutting.
- Astro Pack 450g/m2, 630μm - excellent stiffness, natural paper structure, and increased whiteness. Thanks to this, business cards with embossing elements look beautiful on it;
- Keaykolour 650μm - highest quality paper with an original structure certified by ECF. Keaykolour is characterized by high volume
and excellent stiffness, making it an excellent choice for embossing;
- one-sided coated 250 and 300 g/m2 - cardboard used for book covers and folders;
- chalk 350g/m2 - cardboard for invitations, business cards
Embossing is performed using disposable matrices.
It is not possible to match embossing with printing. Embossing is recommended for elements independent of printing, serving as a graphic accent and enhancing the visual value of the print or printed graphic elements for which it does not matter if the embossing fits perfectly into the print or not.
Note! - For embossing containing very large elements, the reverse side may be smoothed at the embossing point;
Embossing creates a raised surface on the face and an indented surface on the back.

| 3D Spot Varnish Business Cards | The 'Raised Ink' effect is achieved by means of spot coating using a special transparent varnish that increases its volume locally after application. This method emphasises certain printed elements by creating a more visible and tangible 3D structure. For raised ink finishing, coating both big and small items on a single printed piece simultaneously is not recommended.
For business cards coated with raised ink that are set and printed on one sheet (different pieces of artwork on a single printed piece), the thickness of raised ink is adjusted to the smallest printed elements. Consequently, the raised ink effect on bigger elements (over 5 mm) is similar to UV spot varnish. Therefore, we recommend finishing contours of bigger elements using raised ink to achieve distinct tangibility. Varnishing the entire surface might give a less tangible, but at the same time more visible effect.
For double-sided business cards with 3D raised ink, finishing is applied only to the first side (face).Double-sided business cards can have spot varnish only on the face side. |
Spot colour
Liquid Gold/Silver |  Liquid Gold/Silver technology allows you to finish your product with a thick, tactile spot 3D layer with a metallic gloss. Liquid Metal effect will draw your attention so much more than the commercially better known technology of Hot Stamping. |
| Soft Touch Laminate | Matt Soft Touch film designed for print finishing features unique characteristics. Its soft, velvet-like matt texture makes it stand out from the competition. The film highlights and underscores the colours of the print. It can be perfectly combined with spot UV varnish – the combination of fine texture of matt laminate and slick, glossy varnish provides an outstanding effect. |
