STUDIO EMBOSSING DIE: STUDIO EMBOSSING DIE

About

Every presentation product that you deliver to your customers should be branded with your studio logo and the best way to do that with Seldex products is to emboss them.  

To get started with embossing you will need to purchase a Studio embossing die.  This is a metal die of your logo that is used to apply the foil to the surface of the product.  There is a once off cost to have your embossing die manufactured, once this is done you can then emboss different products such as albums, Folio Boxes, Frame Mounts, Print boxes and more.

We offer 8 different foil colours as well as blind embossing where no foil is used.

  • Metal die for embossing studio logos
  • Once off purchase
  • Can be used on all products that allow embossing
  • Allow 5 days for manufacture

IMPORTANT

Please remember that embossing is a different process when compared to printing.  When we emboss we are pushing foil into the surface of the material.  Some materials such as Leather will emboss well.  Leather is a soft, yet thick material so the logo can deboss (or get pushed deep) into the surface.  Materials such as Buckram or Linen are a thin material therefore the metal cannot push into the surface, and they have a grain so foil does not emboss as clean.

Another consideration is your logo design.  If you logo has a graphic design with small details then it may be best to leave this off the die and use text only.  Graphics with intricate designs may not emboss well as the small areas can fill with foil due to the surface of the material, especially linens which have a textured weave surface.  Before sending your logo to us you should open it up in Photoshop and view it at the actual size.  Using your measuring tool you should make sure all letters are at least 4-5mm high if you want them to read well.  Lastly, make sure to use true type fonts whenever possible as this will improve the overall quality of the stamping die.

If you are unsure if you logo is suitable for embossing please contact our sales team for their advice.
