When you order online 2 text lines will appear for you to fill in with your customers embossing information.  You can use both lines, or only one - either the top or the bottom.  If you use one line only it will appear in the font size applicable to that line.  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 (apart from Brittany which will always be upper and lower case top line and upper case bottom line).  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.

EMBOSSING RULES

For practical reasons not all foils work well on every material.  Please see the table below for our details rules and recommendations.  NR = not recommended

LINEN ***     Our Linen range includes Linens with a small, tight weave and also Linens with larger, coarse weave (Natural Blend & Oatmeal) .  Linen *** denotes the Linens with the large, coarse weave and therefore do not emboss as well as the others.

You can emboss your album cover in the following foil colours – Gold, Rose Gold, Silver, Copper, Black and White. We also offer Blind embossing where no foil is used, and you will see the indentation of the embossing only.
