At present, embossing is a modern printing method that helps to create a three-dimensional, beautiful image. The technology implies local compression of the material, which entails the appearance of a most beautiful and spectacular relief-convex pattern on the surface.
When was relief stamping first used?
The history of this unique type of design of cardboard products, including boxes and packing boxes, began in the 19th century. The English designer invented a special design for squeezing out three-dimensional decorative patterns on the material (paper) being formed. Since then, in the 19th century, this technique was used exclusively for the creation of promotional and gift products. In our time, embossing has become much more widespread.
Main areas of use
Today, embossing is used on cardboard products from the Lunapack manufacturer in the manufacture of:
- gift certificates intended for awarding the winners;
- on diplomas of various levels of education;
- on book covers;
- on business cards, tickets, company labels.
Embossing is often used in the production of unique, truly exclusive packaging. Also, invitation cards, ceremonial cards, designed on an individual basis are often decorated in a similar way. The method allows you to get great, original products that are pleasing to the eye, attracting the attention of others.
A convex embossed pattern, for example, decorating invitation cards for a wedding or other important festive event looks much more impressive and advantageous compared to ordinary tickets, which are issued exclusively with images and textual information.
A winning look
Those products that are made using relief stamping are truly beautiful, elegant and quite original. A multi-level three-dimensional image, which is in no way complemented by paint, foil, lamination, or other methods, looks quite interesting even against a snow-white background, as well as lilac, yellow, black, any other, where there are no other decorative details.
