Embossing & Debossing
Embossing is when you raise a logo or other pattern, image or text to create a 3D graphic. This raised design is achieved by pushing a metal die into paper, card stock or leather item from underneath. The raised area can then have ink or foil applied to it for added effect or it can be left unprinted or unfoiled (i.e. known as a blind emboss).
Debossing is where the print is pressed into the material to leave a permanent cavity; this method of print is most popular with leather and paper products.
When To Use Debossing as a Decorating Method
- You are decorating leather
- You want to design with Depth
- You want to make a product look more elegant
- You want your design to last forever
debossing is our go-to decoration type for adding custom logos and designs to leather products!
The 3D embedded design that is achieved through debossing gives your product both dimensional depth and texture.
Debossing can take a custom accessory to another level in terms of sophistication and class. Debossed logos tend to be more simple and elegant than noisy.
Debossing creates a truly permanent design that will last just as long as the product you are decorating.

What Materials can I Deboss?
In terms of custom decoration debossing is typically reserved for leather accessories and apparel like wallets, padfolios, luggage tags, briefcases and custom leather accents on promotional products like speakers and corporate gift sets. However, debossing can also be used on paper and cardstock materials, like those used in custom notebooks and journals. Because of the heat associated with the debossing process, it is not recommended to deboss fabrics or plastics.
