The table below shows which print options are available in each of our ranges of stationery.
Printing options explained
Die stamping or copperplate printing
Also known as engraving – offers a level of precision
and elegance that is hard to beat. The ink is raised
and crisp.
Letterpress printing
Devised by Mr Guttengurg 500 years ago, this
method of printing has seen a resurgence in
the USA in recent years.
It offers a beautiful, 3 dimensional impression.
A raised surface is inked and pressed into a soft
paper.
This produces very distinctive results.
Thermography
This is a more affordable version of engraving. The
item is printed with ink, then the ink is coated
with a fine layer of powder before being heat
treated – the powder fuses with the ink to give
a raised print.
Blind embossing
This creates raised relief images. The results are very
tactile.
Plate sinking
This creates a square or rectangle acting as a border.
Foil stamping
This involves heat stamping an image through a
layer of metal foil. This adds sparkle and a
Wow factor.
Bevelling and gilding edges
Craftsmen hand bevel edges and gild them with
gold, silver or a colour of your choice.
