The Printing Source has a complete finishing department, with individualized services to meet our customers' specific needs. Embossing allows designs to be raised or depressed as much as an eighth inch.  Dies take a number of forms including single , multi-leveled, beveled, round, flat and sculptured.  Embossing can stand alone as "blind embossing" or be combines with a color.

Foil-Stamping can create a myriad of unique effects by combining paper, ink and distinctive foils.  Foils come in a variety of colors from brilliant hues to subtle pastels.  Surface qualities are also varied--glossy, metallic, clear, dull and textured.

Die-Cutting allows a piece to have a "window" so that only part of the design is exposed.  Die-cutting can be done either mechanically or by laser.  Laser die-cutting allows for finer, more intricate designs.  The laser also causes less damage to the paper surface, because the paper is vaporized by the beam rather than being cut.
