Good Day!
If you are not part of a printing company, you probably have not heard the words “emboss” and “deboss” until now. Embossing and debossing are decoration methods/design techniques that create depth and add style to products. These processes cannot be done without a machine.
Here are the main differences between embossing and debossing:
• Embossing raises the design from the product’s surface, while debossing presses down on it.
• Embossing looks 3D and pops out, while debossing looks indented.
• Embossing uses less heat than debossing.
• Embossing works on almost all materials, while debossing on fabric and hard plastic is rugged.
• Embossing uses two dies/plates while debossing only uses one die/plate.
• Embossing is usually more expensive.
• Embossing can have finer details than debossing.
• Embossing is likely to affect the material’s back, while debossing does not.
Many materials that can have an embossed/debossed design, such as paper, cardstock, metal, fabric, leather, hard plastic, and food. The possibilities are endless!
