PRINT METHODS
flat printing
Flat printing, also known as digital printing, applies ink to the surface of the paper but does not leave a raised or pressed texture. Flat printing allows for multiple vivid colors to be printed at one time.
ENGRAVING
Engraving is when ink is applied to a metal plate and then stamped with intense pressure against paper to give a luxuriously raised ink texture.Engraving creates finely detailed lettering and designs, with slight indentations on the reverse side of the paper.
FOIL printing
Foil printing uses heat to apply foil to the surface of the paper, leaving a slight indentation. We can print in gold, silver and white foil with either a shiny or matte finish.
EMBOSSING
Embossing is the same process as engraving except no ink is applied to the plate. The result is an extremely detailed raised image or design.
LETTERPRESS
Letterpress is when ink is applied to a metal plate and then pressed into paper to give a debossed, textured effect.The pressing process transfers the ink and leaves a deep impression creating a three-dimensional print.
DIE CUTTING
Die cutting uses a steel rule die to cut the paper, allowing us to create custom shapes for any paper goods.
