What is embossing, and what does it look like?

Embossing is a relief design in the cover made with lead letters. Using force and heat, we print the letters into the cover, to create a tangible and visible effect with the selected design. One option is to use foil; in gold, silver, black or white. But without foil is possible too; in this case it’s simply an impression of lead letters that we emboss into the material. Creating a subtle text design. This could be a good choice if you’re after a natural loo&feel. However, if you’d rather have a striking design that’s easily legible, opt for foil.
