Blind Embossing

High-quality and individually embossed labels stand out from the crowd.  Compared to conventionally printed labels without finishing, embossed labels shine not only with their noble, unobtrusive appearance but also with their special feel.

Blind embossing is a classic finishing technique in label printing.  It dispenses with color highlighting and only impresses with a partial deformation of the label material, which is why the process is also known as “colorless embossing”.

Labels with blind embossing are given a raised or recessed shape and thus a tactile contour.  A distinction is made between deep embossing* (lowered elements) and raised embossing (raised elements).  The intensity of the embossing depends on the material thickness.

*Unfortunately, we at primelabels.com.au cannot implement deep embossing.

A further distinction is made between single-stage and multi-stage blind embossing.  Single-stage blind embossing has all embossing elements on one level, multi-stage blind embossing on levels of different depths.  Please note that the blind embossing remains visible on the back of your label.

Blind embossing can also be used to create a so-called structure embossing.  This means that the surface of the entire label is embossed with a special structure in three dimensions.  The depressions and elevations that are created during blind embossing create a special effect through an unusual play of light and shadow. Both visually and haptically, a special attraction is created that stands out.  The different structure gives the label a  special character.
