What is the embossing process? Maybe you have seen the steel seal on the marriage certificate or qualification certificate, which is a concave effect. The principle of embossing is very similar to the steel seal on the certificate. Here HugPak Packaging will give you a detailed introduction.
Embossing is a kind of printing process, which is also known as concave convex, relief, etc. Through the pre made engraving model (relief plate) and the pressure action (using machine pressure), the paper surface can form a three-dimensional effect higher or lower than the paper.
Concave convex embossing can make the product have three-dimensional effect and more distinctive artistic effect. For example, business cards, packaging gift boxes and packaging bags commonly used in daily life all use this printing process to increase the artistic effect of product packaging,
What are the characteristics of the embossing process? The production process of embossing does not use ink, and the effect is produced by pressure, which will not cause any pollution to the environment. It is an environmentally friendly process. The use of this process can highlight the environmental protection concept of users or publishers. In this era of over exploitation of environmental resources and gradual destruction of the environment, embossing process printing is a good choice for green environmental protection industry.
Different design requirements and required quantities also determine the selection of template materials. Templates made of different materials will show different process effects. Next, we will introduce the classification of embossing process templates.
- Copper plate
It has the characteristics of high hardness, high durability and clear lines. It is applicable to the production of fine graphics and lines, but its disadvantage is that the cost of production with it will be higher. Paper plate with laser engraving technology.
- Brass plate
It is a good material for making concave convex templates. The products made with it are characterized by high quality and high price.
- Zinc plate
The price of plate making is low, which is much cheaper than other products. The number of printing bases is less than 5000, and it is impossible to make relief plates.
The embossing process is one of the common process technologies in the printing, packaging and graphic design industries. It has a wide range of applications, such as cosmetic boxes, fine wine boxes, fine handbags, business cards, book covers, magazines, etc. The embossing process can be combined with a variety of papers to show a good process effect.
For example, the pearlescent paper is more beautiful by using the embossing process. The packaging box produced has a smooth and bright surface and a strong three-dimensional effect, highlighting the product connotation. The combination of embossing and gold stamping serves as a complement to each other. The name card made in this way looks more high-end and stylish and is easier to remember.
