Register Emboss

Embossing is a process where pressure from a press along with metal dies are used to add a three-dimensional or raised effect on selected areas of a business card. Embossing can be used different ways: (1) Blind emboss, so that the image is raised but not inked/foiled. (2) Register emboss, so that the image is raised and also inked/foiled.

Embossing on 32pt stock requires the printing of two 16pt business cards. The first "top" business card is embossed and machined glued to the second "bottom" business card. This layering process is permanent and will produce a total paper thickness of: 16pt + 16pt = 32pt stock.

Spot gloss is a glossy coating that is only applied to a specific section of the business card. The selected area is singled out and coated with a glossy finish while the rest remains matte. The goal of this process is to give your card some contrast by highlighting both the muted film and the spot gloss. You have the option of adding the spot gloss to any area of the card, for example over a logo, a certain section of a graphic, or even as an elaborate pattern.
