A die presses the design into the material. The recessed design is revealed by shadows and texture.

The result

A subtle, often tone-on-tone decoration that can be felt. Contrast varies with the material.

When to choose it

For compatible journal covers and accessories when a material effect is preferred over a contrasting printed logo.
