Debossing
The opposite of embossing — pressing a design into the paper to create a recessed image.
Why it matters
Debossing is part of the finishing phase of a print job. Marketers who understand it can brief printers more clearly and avoid costly proofing rounds.
In your workflow
- → Confirm specifications with your printer before file delivery.

- → Always request a hard proof for large runs.
