Embossed cards
Embossed the card creates a domed effect over the designated area on the card by pressing from the reverse side of the paper, thus, creates a raised graphical image on the business card top surface.
- Blind Press Embossing: This stamping technique makes a domed effect without the color or foil on the card surface
- Ink Embossing: This stamping technique makes a domed effect over the printed and foiled area on the card.
- Embossing area: standard size — 1.5″x.75″. 2″x1.5″ is the maximum embossing area.
How to prepare the embossed business card artwork:
You need to create one additional file for the emboss masked area on the card. Here are the steps.
- Duplicate your business card file and name that file as “XYZ-mask.pdf.”
- From the XYZ-mask.pdf file, delete or take out the card elements that are not part of the mask area.
- Now, take the remaining masked area on the card and change the color to black color 0/0/0/100, and then save the file.
