Paper and board are inherently beautiful mediums to work with. The huge array of finishes, colours and thicknesses now available allow designers to completely explore all of their ideas. As well as creating super high quality print, the art and craft of surface sculpting can bring an extra dimension to designs both visually and physically, delivering tactility to a 2D product.

As with all of our expert production finishes, we spend a lot of time researching just how they interact with all materials, and none so more important than with embossing and debossing. Using ultra-detailed dies, highly skilled machine operators and fine quality papers/boards, Windles can enhance your design by lifting and pushing the paper surface, to form depth and shadow.

A classic way to enhance or embellish your product is to sculpt and mould the surface. Like everything at Windles, we have taken embossing and debossing to a new level (no pun intended). Working with skilled die-makers and machine operators has allowed us to explore the very boundaries of crisp, deep and precise embossing.

Try embossing printed designs, blind embossing or apply to our in-line Cold Foil - it really does transform your greeting card or product. A sharp emboss will pick up some beautiful highlights and shadows, adding depth and interest to a 2D surface.

We have a very handy guide to embossing and debossing, so get in touch if you would like a copy.
