BREATHTAKING RESULTS

At Metallic Elephant, we produce magnesium blocks for embossing, debossing and hot foil printing in all the popular gauges. These are manufactured in our modern and purpose-built etching plant, with a fleet of machines waiting to bring your designs to life.

Our magnesium dies are also highly economical and just the ticket whether for runs of 40,000 or for one-off jobs such as for luxury packaging or wedding invitations. The results are as breathtaking as the speeds at which we can deliver: we have a 24-hour turnaround as standard ( if ordered by 1pm ) and deep etching is a specialty.

GUIDE TO ARTWORK

what is embossing?

Foil embossing adds emphasis and sophistication through creating a raised image or text. This eye-catching and specialist technique requires an etched metal (female) die and a matching (male) counter die.

what is debossing?

When the same process creates an indented image, it’s known as debossing (or blind blocking or stamping). Debossing especially into leather items is a subtle and understated effect that adds elegance and naturally draws the eye.
