Embossed Business Cards

Embossed business cards are among the most elegant and impressive business cards that we are able to produce. They are characterized by a pattern that is actually pressed into the paper. This pattern is 3-dimensional and may or may not have any ink on it. There are other effects that offer dimension that can be felt, but none of them achieve that in the absence of ink. Embossed business cards are truly and we are proud to manufacture them locally in NYC.

Stemming from printing methods that surfaced in the 15th century, this technology has not changed very much over time. Other printing methods such as offset and digital printing have eclipsed letterpress in popularity due to their efficiency and lower operating costs. This decline in popularity has made letterpress business cards a rare sight to behold. The limited supply has also contributed to their appeal, mostly because of their exclusivity.

The Benefits Of Embossed
Business Cards

Embossed business cards are really interesting because they look like the paper was specifically made for use with the individuals business card. All other printing methods clearly illustrate that ink was applied to the paper in a manner that was intended. But embossing makes it look like the paper started with the logo, and ink was added after the fact. This has the effect of making the paper look as though it was customer made.

What To Consider When Buying Embossed Business Cards

For the many facets that make embossed business cards highly appealing, there are also some limitations. The first and most common one is that the pressed pattern is visible from the back of the business cards. That means that you cannot print double sided business cards without mounting an additional sheet of paper to the back of the card.

Another key limitation of embossed business cards are the time and cost. Although we strive to be as competitive as possible, the reality is that there is a lot of work that goes into these business cards. The turnaround time is normally 2 weeks for embossing. The cost can vary widely, so it’s a good idea to contact us for a customized quote.

I had my business cards printed here, and I have to say, the quality is outstanding! This is the second time i print here and i will continue to come back for any business cards printing needed. I was communicating with Julian, who did an amazing job explaining to me what their services entail and advising me on the best paper and detailing for my needs. 10/10 would recommend!

I recently got a personal project printed at Japan Printing and was helped by Julian. I was hoping to find a print shop that I could continue working with for future projects and Japan Printing is it! The quality of my postcards is top notch, and I never felt like I was bothering Julian with my questions and initial hesitancy. I couldn’t be happier with the whole process and my beautiful art postcards.

Japan Printing & Graphics did an amazing job for my business. As a retail business owner, specializing in the sale of Native American artworks and jewelry, we needed to find a visual identity that elevated and upscaled our brand, but at the same time stay true to the “natural or organic” look Native retail brands can be associated with. We were interested in a particular look; organic textured paper or cardboard, with a copper metallic stamp of our logo. The final products came out great! We ordered business cards, apparel tags, necklace tags, earring tags and other items. One of their representatives, Marcela, did an amazing job explaining the options they had regarding textured papers, colors, metallic finishes, sizes, pricing etc. I think I knew this was the place to work with, when she took out a couple of BOOKS filled with paper samples . Options were almost limitless, but her guidance and expertise on printing service helped us decide quite efficiently and effortlessly. From a branding perspective, Japan Printing is able to deliver what you envision for your business or service. They helped upscale our products, because presentation matters. If you want to impact your customers with your brand, a clear image of who you are and what you stand for is needed, and Japan Printing can definitely help you out.

FAQs
Embossed Business Cards

How Are Embossed Business Cards Created?

Creating embossed business cards requires a lot of labor and skill. The process starts by machining solid metal plates with the desired pattern on them. These plates – referred to metal dies – have a male and female side that have inverted patterns which fit securely together when stacked. Next, the metal plates are arranged in such a manner that they align properly with sheets of paper that already have the business card information printed on them. Finally, the sheets stamped one by one between the male and female dies, resulting in the pattern described above being placed in the correct position on the business cards. From there, the sheets still need to be cut down to business cards, but that step isn’t specific to embossing, so we’ll skip it.
