Embellishing

When you're wanting to add something special or indeed some extra protection to your finished piece - embellishments are key. With so many to choose from you can find one which aligns perfectly to your needs.

Laminating - when applying a protective film - think Gloss, Matt, Satin, SilkTouch, Antiscuff and Biodegradable films

UV Coatings - the most common is Gloss UV, yet there are many more options available from Matt, Glitter, High-build, Sand texture, Scratch-off latex, Scratch & Sniff to Glow in the Dark

Foil Stamping - using your design a stamp is created to apply a foil of your choosing - varying from Metallic, Holographic right through to Pigment foils

Debossing & Embossing - add some depth with a deboss which pushes your design into the sheet. Or alternatively, raise up the surface with an emboss and it will push your design outwards

Sculptured Embossing - ultimate craftsmanship - with hand engraving your detailed design into a stamp
