What does blind embossing involve?
What are the benefits of working with blind embossing?
What kind of materials will work for blind embossing?
- The thickness of the material. Anything that is too thick can create problems when you’re trying to use it in a press. On the other hand, a material that is too thin – say, less than a millimeter – will make only a subtle indentation.
- Density is important too. How hard a material is will have an impact on how easy it is to emboss. For example, if you’re using fabric this may be too soft and simply not have the density to impress into.
