Sourcer Insight – Embossing
Embossing (or debossing) creates a three dimensional design using heat and pressure. This creates a raised or impressed design onto materials such as leather, paper and rubber.
Process
A combination of heat and pressure is needed to create the design as well as a metal die. The die is shaped as a mirror image of the desired final branding. The die is then put into a machine; heat and pressure are then used to push the die into the material creating a permanent design.
Benefits of this branding:
- High quality, permanent method
- Offers subtle branding due to the limited amount of colours that can be used (primarily only available for one colour logos)
- Great for branding items with small logos
Limitations of this branding:
- Not suitable for large branding needs due to the difficulty in creating even heat and pressure over a large surface area
- Not suitable for intricate designs as details can be lost
- Lead times can be longer, due to the time taken to make the die
