Press Types of Embossing/ Debossing
Roll press
Large paper rolls are continuously fed between dies to emboss or deboss designs, making this method faster than traditional techniques.
Straight stamp press
Like a stamp, single sheets of paper are fed between dies and imprinted to create an emboss or deboss effect.
Clamshell press
Derived from the resemblance to an opening and closing clamshell, paper is placed between dies to create an emboss or deboss effect.
Embossing/ Debossing Die
Embossing/Debossing Die
Embossing and debossing dies fit together like puzzle pieces, featuring a mirrored image of the custom design—one raised and the other sunken—to create the desired effect.
