Raised Print
Elevate your printed materials to a new dimension with Raised Print, expertly executed in the heart of New York City. Our offerings include Thermography, Engraving, and Embossing—each method meticulously employed to add tactile depth and visual richness to your project.

For a timeless, luxurious feel, Engraving carves your design into a copper plate, which is then filled with ink and pressed onto paper, resulting in the most crisp and clean raised lettering.
Embossing uses brass or copper plates to create a raised relief on the paper, adding a tactile element that's perfect for logos or accent details.
