Debossing is the process of pressing an etched plate or die tool into relief using heat and force resulting in a depressed impression.

Products with coated paper or pressboard covers (Rhodia notepads, Meeting Books, & file folders) cannot be debossed.

One-color imprinting or "hot foil stamping" is achieved by applying an etched plate or die with sufficient heat & pressure to a one color foil film placed on the product.

Full-Color imprinting is done with a new technology using UV curable CMYK inks, plus white, clear gloss and texture-building primer to create vibrant imprints with special effects on most materials.

The imprinting of a name or an address using letterpress metal type.
