Standard Embossing

Available on – Boutique Books, Portrait Books, Invogue Albums, Gallery Albums,

We have recently upgraded our embossing processes which means we can now offer new modern, contemporary fonts as a standard embossing option (previously called Personalised Embossing). Standard Embossing allows you to use up to two lines of text on your album cover. You can choose from one of our new 4 stylish fonts - Ivy, Seasons, Savoy and Brittany.

Brittany - the top line will be in Brittany font and the bottom line will be in be in an arial font. The top line will be larger than the bottom line. Maximum of 20 characters (which include spaces).
Ivy - the top line (typically names) will be a font size larger than the bottom line (typically a date or location). Maximum of 20 characters (which include spaces).
Seasons - the top line (typically names) will be a font size larger than the bottom line (typically a date or location). Maximum of 20 characters (which include spaces).
Savoy - the top line (typically names) will be a font size larger than the bottom line (typically a date or location). Maximum of 25 characters (which include spaces).

When you order online 2 text lines will appear for you to fill in. The text will appear on your album cover as you have typed it on the order form – whether it be a mix of upper and lower case, all upper case or all lower case. For example the following names and dates may appear in a variety of ways such as:

Harper & Oliver Harper and Oliver HARPER + OLIVER HARPER & OLIVER
20th March 2023 20.03.2023 20TH MARCH 2023 20.03.23

As you can see there are many ways to display the names and dates - when ordering online please make sure to type it in the format you would like it to appear in.

EMBOSSING POSITION

You can have your album cover embossed in the following positions. All embossing is placed on the actual cover boards, excluding the hinge and spine of the album cover.

OPTICAL CENTRE – Your text will be embossed slightly above centre (this is the most popular option).
DEAD CENTRE – Your text will be embossed directly in the centre of the cover. (Optically this can make it appear like your text is below centre and that is why Optical Centre is the most popular choice).
BOTTOM CENTRE – Your text will be embossed bottom centre on the cover.
BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER – Your text will be embossed on the bottom right hand corner on the cover.

If you would like your album embossed in another position this may be possible. Please make a note of this in the comments box before adding your order to the shopping cart.
