Add dramatic impact to your brand through heat sensitive printing, which uses thermochromic inks to hide then reveal your design when it is touched – ideal for book covers and beyond.

Silk Screening

Adding a high-quality allure to book covers, silk screening entails etching a screen with your design, text or logo, and applying it to a cloth-like print medium – no die necessary.

Helping your brand to “jump off the page” – and shelves – embossing adds dynamic 3D impact to logos, covers, text or imagery through a process that elevates your design from its surrounding surface.

Debossing

A distinguished solution for your cover, stationery and beyond, debossing impresses your brand design into your print medium for a “branded” or “sunken in” effect.
