Services
Brass Dies
Brass dies offer exceptional durability and versatility for high-quality embossing and foil stamping. Our CNC-machined brass dies create multi-level effects while maintaining clean foil application. Ideal for combination dies that perform both stamping and embossing in one pass, these dies provide precise relief shaping and long-term durability for complex print finishing projects.
Copper Dies
Copper dies deliver superior heat conductivity for high-speed foil stamping applications. Our photo-etched copper dies maintain consistent temperature during operation, ensuring clean transfers on large solid areas. Recommended for medium to long production runs, these dies withstand high-pressure requirements while preserving fine details on textured or recycled paper stocks.
Magnesium Dies
Magnesium dies provide cost-effective solutions for short-run foil stamping and basic embossing. Our photo-etched magnesium dies work best with smooth or coated paper stocks for small to medium-sized images. These lightweight dies offer quick turnaround times while maintaining quality for straightforward print finishing requirements in packaging and book production.
Foil Stamping
Our foil stamping services create vibrant metallic finishes using precision-crafted dies. Available in brass, copper, and magnesium options, our dies ensure clean, durable transfers across various substrates. We optimize die material selection based on production volume, substrate type, and design complexity to deliver consistent, high-quality foil applications for packaging and print finishing projects.
Embossing Dies
We create multi-level and sculptured embossing dies that add dimensional texture to printed materials. Our brass dies excel at complex sculptured effects, while copper and magnesium options handle single-level applications. We provide artwork preparation guidance to ensure proper spacing and detail retention, delivering tactile enhancements that elevate packaging, book covers, and specialty print products.
