process of creating a three-dimensional image or design in paper and
other materials. Embossing is typically accomplished by applying heat
and pressure with male and female dyes, usually made of copper or brass,
that fit together and squeeze the fibers of the substrate. The
combination of pressure and heat raises the level of the image higher
than the substrate, while "ironing" it to make it smooth. In printing
this is accomplished on a letterpress. The most common machines are the
Kluge Letterpress and the Heidelberg Letterpress. "Debossing" is similar
to embossing, but recesses the design rather than raising it. Most types
of paper can be embossed, and size is not normally a consideration.
Embossing without ink, so that the image is raised but not colored, is
called "blind embossing." Embossing used in conjunction with ink, so
that the raised area is colored, is called "color register embossing."
Embossing used in conjunction with foil stamping is called "combination
stamping" or "combo stamping." |
