Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between embossing and debossing?
Embossing raises the design above the material's surface (2D & 3D), while debossing presses the design into the material, creating an indented effect.
Are there limitations on design complexity for embossing?
While stamped logos can achieve detailed designs, there are limitations based on material thickness and tooling capabilities. It's essential to ensure that lines and spaces meet minimum width requirements to maintain design integrity. For extremely complex and intricate designs, electroforming can be utilized, but there are limitations to the design and text height.
What file formats are available for artwork submission?
The preferred file format for artwork submission is Adobe Illustrator (AI), but other vector files that are acceptable include:
- Encapsulated Postscript (.eps)
- CorelDraw (.cdr)
If artwork is in another file format such as PDF, JPEG, PNG, etc. we may be able to convert it.
