But most people call it a blind deboss, deboss or an emboss. This is the one that we get most requests for. We do not provide digital proofs as we make our prints directly from the art files that you provide us with. Always going to have an embossing on the other side. Any changes that are made to the artwork after receiving a physical proof (Letterpress, Foil, and Embossing only) will require a new plate(s) to be made which you will need to pay for.
Letterpress vs emboss full#
If you proceed with the existing artwork, the costs of your plate or screen is rolled into the cost of the full run so you are not charged twice. For this reason we need to charge you enough to cover the costs of the plates / screens used, as well as a charge for labor / setup. For letterpress, foil, embossing, and screen-printing, proofs are much more expensive to produce as we have to go through all the same steps that we would if we were running a full job, including making plates or screens that make up a large portion of the cost of an order. For physical proofs of digital pieces, charges will vary based off the number of pieces you need proofs for, the paper being used, and how quickly you need the proofs. When your project includes having a return address printed on an envelope, you need to provide us with a mockup that shows us where on the envelope you would like your address artwork to be placed.įor more info on file requirements for envelope addressing, see the answer below for “Can you print on envelopes?” This should look like what you want the final piece to look like. One file that is a full-color mockup with both the letterpress and foil artwork. One file that has only the letterpress artwork For example, for a 1-color letterpress + 1-color foil piece, you would provide us with: If your order includes a piece(s) that has more than one print process or ink color, please provide separations for each color / ink process as well as a full color mockup. You can measure this in Adobe Illustrator using the pen tool. In hot foil stamping, heat is applied to the plate to adhere a layer. If your lines are thinner than this, they will not properly expose onto the plate. Hot foil stamping is similar to letterpress as it uses plates to press a design into paper. The minimum line-width for letterpress and foil is 0.3.
