Technologies for processing greeting cards and gift boxes

A very interesting and effective way of improving printed matter is paper embossing without ink. Different types of profiles are created with it, and it can simply be said that it is printed by embossing. For blind printing, we usually need two embossing moulds, which are the handiwork of master engravers with whom we cooperate, and thus we complete our works together.

We use this technique mainly for printing text and graphics to complete the overall impression according to the feelings of the artist. The range of foils is unimaginably wide, differing mainly according to the type of printed material or according to the type of colours: metallic, matt, glossy or monochromatic. A specific type of foil without a carrier is gold foil, which is used mainly in art bookbinding.

The principle of relief printing is similar to embossing. Where, in addition to the profile, the colour transferred from the embossing foil is also visible on the motif after printing. The ink is transferred from the foil to the printed material by the pressure and heat that the book forms develop. By the pressure of the printing surfaces, the foil is pressed into the paper and the ink is released at the places of pressure and temperature. 

Thermographic printing gives the prints an interesting plastic look. It is about creating a relief by the action of heat. A thermographic powder is applied to the not yet dried adhesive print, which polymerizes under the action of heat. During polymerization, the powder increases its volume, and in this way an irreplaceable relief is created. The very appearance of the relief is determined by the powder used, which can be pearly, metallic, glittery or simply white.

The basis of prindor technology is transferring of the metallic foil on the paper before the offset printing. This creates a special metallic effect of each colour that emphasizes colour shades. Prindor often combinates with embossing and then the product gets the final 3D effect.

This technique offers the possibility to highlight the graphic elements or parts. 
 A thick layer of varnish is applied to selected areas of the paper, which dries immediately after exposure to UV radiation, leaving a smooth and shiny surface, which attracts attention to one of the specific parts. UV varnishing is one of the ways to breathe an elegant finish into our products.

We use a flat cut; it is accurate and the most variable. The material is cut out using a die form and a die machine. Fancy works are created by adding cut-outs and special transparent graphic papers. The artist designs combinations and with their help tries to enhance the impression of the finished work.

We strive to ensure that each of our products is perfect and very detailed. For this reason, some components for greeting cards are applied manually. By using the most diverse types of adhesive components, we give our products an interesting look, as well as the uniqueness and exclusivity.

All manufactured dies add added value to our products in addition to uniqueness. The added value lies in the preservation of the traditional handmade production of dies by masters of engraving art, despite technological advances.
