What is Embossing? What is Embossed Stationery? 

Let's start with the definition:

em·boss  /imˈbôs/
verb: gerund or present participle: embossing

  1. To carve, mold, or stamp a design on (a surface or object) so that it stands out in relief.

    "they used special tools to emboss the stationery"


Embossing is an elegant process where heavy metal plates are pressed against the material raising the surface and thus adds a new dimension to your stationery. No ink is used! (Except for some optional borders) 

StationeryXpress uses only high-quality embossing dies to ensure your embossed stationery looks positively breathtaking. We offer a wide selection of embossed stationery options that are perfect for making every correspondence a lasting impression.

Note: Embossed cards are flat and embossed notes (embossed note cards) fold.

Embossed vs. Debossed?

Embossed - Think raised up.

Debossed - Think pushed in.

Below is a photo of an embossed custom logo order we created, where the customer wanted the name of the business to be debossed, or pushed in. We have the ability to emboss or deboss specific parts of logos or artwork files, depending on the final result you are looking for. In the example below, this customer wanted the letters in the logo debossed, or pushed in, while other parts of the logo are embossed, or raised up. (This could have been the opposite way as well, if the customer desired!)
