Embossing is a premium finishing technique widely used in luxury packaging and printed materials. It involves pressing a custom metal die onto paper or packaging surfaces to create a raised (elevated) design, such as a logo, text, or pattern.
By lifting the design above the surface, embossing adds depth, texture, and visual interest—making key brand elements stand out without relying heavily on color.
Key Features of Embossing
- Creates raised designs above the surface
- Enhances light and shadow for a striking visual effect
- Adds a tactile, premium feel
- Ideal for highlighting logos and brand elements
Common Uses of Embossing

- Luxury rigid gift boxes

Embossing is often combined with foil stamping, debossing, or printing to create rich, multi-dimensional packaging designs.
