The Art of the Finish: Foil Stamping, Embossing and Die-Cutting Techniques

From foil stamping, to embossing, to die cutting, post-process techniques are tried and true crowd pleasers. Planning for one, however, can be an intimidating process, especially if you’re under tight budget and time constraints, or if you haven’t previously been involved in a project that incorporates a finishing technique. Careful planning can help ensure that every detail is covered, such as discussing the project with a printer and fully exploring paper options. By following the right steps, you can walk away with a beautifully executed printed piece incorporating a technique that makes it more impactful, meaningful and memorable for your audience—on time and within your budget.
