Acid Etched


Uses chemicals to roughen the top layer of glass to give it a frosted look.

De-bossing


An image such as a logo, a title, or other design is heat-pressed into the surface of the paper with a die, creating depressions rather than raised impressions as in embossing. The same techniques used for embossing — blind, foil, and ink — can be used with de-bossing to create visual effects and texture. De-bossing can be done on hard and soft covers.

Die-Cutting


Die-cutting is like using a cookie cutter. A hand-operated, die-cutting machine uses steel rule die shapes to cut through a wide range of materials quickly and easily.

Embroidery

Empoxy Dome


To add dimension and shine to your logo, place it under a clear, high-gloss polyurethane dome. The following domes (actual sizes listed) offer a high-impact look at a low-impact price.

Foil Stamping


Foil stamping uses heat and metallic film in a specialty printing process that produces a shiny design on paper, vinyl, textiles, wood, hard plastic, leather, and other materials. Foil stamping, also called hot stamping, dry stamping, foil imprinting, or leaf stamping, can be combined with dimensional embossing to make letters and images on business cards, book covers, gift cards, office folders, and a whole host of professional or personal items.

Laser Engraved


The practice of using lasers to engrave, etch, or mark an object. The technique can be very technical and complex, and often a computer system is used to drive the movements of the laser head. Despite this complexity, very precise and clean engravings can be achieved at a high rate.

Process Printing


Printing from multiple halftone images, each inked with a different color such that the composite impression will reproduce the colors of the original. A color printed from four separate printing plates. Four-color process printing uses cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) inks to produce full color reproduction.

Photo Etched
