While embossing and debossing utilise the same technique, embossing results in a raised design above the surface, whereas debossing creates an impression pressed into the material.
Debossing, often used for premium notebooks, leather products, and gift items, presses a heated metal plate to imprint designs onto product surfaces.
Debossing is a specialised technique frequently employed in the creation of high-end products such as premium notebooks, luxurious leather goods, and elegant gift items. This process involves the use of a heated metal plate, which is meticulously pressed onto the surface of the product to create a recessed design. The application of heat and pressure ensures that the design is permanently imprinted, resulting in a refined and sophisticated finish that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the item. This method is particularly favoured for its ability to add a touch of elegance and exclusivity to a wide range of products, making them ideal for both personal and corporate gifting.
