Paper embossing is one of the oldest crafts, and it was used in the past to make a special effect on stamps. It is very special in that it makes the letters that are being embossed to be raised in the surface and so they become more obvious as compared to those that are not. It can also be used to make images more raised in the surface of the paper. This can be done using foil embossing dies.

The dye used today is manufactured by incorporating several elements like brass, copper and magnesium. The imprinted material helps a person to choose materials that help to make the dye compatible. Still, you will get other factors that determine the results. The client must make sure they have correct details before buying. The information allows one to make proper choices.

There ate many types of embossing, and each style has its own advantages and disadvantages. The blind etching technique does not use foil or ink in order to highlight the embossed area. One will only notice the embossed area by looking at the symmetry of the paper that is being worked on. It is mainly done on hard paper to make it unique and not forgeable.

The second technique is called registered embossing. It is basically a form of imagery that duplicates things that have been adorned by ink or foils on the paper's surface. The other method is combination emboss. It uses both impressing and foils impressing on one piece of paper to bring out a unique outcome. It will look common, yet complex to be fictitious because one cannot tell what has been done to it.

Another process used to emboss your art piece includes glazing, scorching and pastelling. When used, they make the top side show appealing looks. To finish off the work, people apply ink with nugget finishes. This makes the work beautiful to the naked eye. This works better for other products like stamps or wrappers made of paper customized to the clients needs. This art work works better for decoration papers, and other materials used for other jobs and not for beautification.

In foil embossing, heated die is applied to the foils and then to the surface that is to be decorated. This is beautiful because it comes out in shiny and attention catching colors that are shimmering. Most of the things that are embossed like this are pencils and pens. Others include photographs, covers of books and handkerchiefs. The foils produce a metallic shimmer that is shiny and that hold for a long time. It can, however, come off when dipped in water for long.

Pastel foils are usually as flat opaque color and do not have shiny effects they can be white, and when embossed in white papers give out a subtle impressions that are unremarkable from afar. Embosses create a more striking 3D image, and this makes the surface look more artistic and beautiful.

When choosing these dies, pick the ones giving a deep feeling to be raised. To get the best results, use the new pneumatic automatic machines which operate at a high volume. This reduces work that makes people tired.
