Debossing is a printing technique that creates a recessed design or text on a surface, typically using heat and pressure. This method is commonly applied to materials like paper, leather, and plastic, resulting in a subtle, three-dimensional effect. The process involves a debossing die, which presses into the material, leaving an indented impression. This technique is often used in book covers, business cards, and packaging to enhance visual appeal and tactile experience. Debossing can be combined with other methods, such as foil stamping, to create unique designs that stand out while maintaining a sophisticated look.
