Shape, depth and light.
Letterpress presses an image into the sheet. Embossing and debossing change the surface itself. Foil stamping catches the light; spot UV can add a contrasting sheen or raised detail. Die cutting changes the outline or creates a window. Each process works best when the design allows space for its distinctive effect.
Build the finish around the purpose.
A tactile business card might need a restrained impression, while a packaging label may call for controlled contrast or a strong silhouette. Material, artwork, production method and quantity affect the result. The gallery offers examples to discuss, rather than a fixed menu of combinations.
Plan the production detail early.
Special finishes can require separate artwork, templates and tolerances. Share the desired effect when you first inquire, then we can confirm practical options, proofing, cost and timing for the chosen product.
