What is letterpress?
Letterpress is basically letter debossing with movable characters that together forms words.

We offer 2 separate services:

  • Letterpress: debossing with letters only. Available fonts: Arial Narrow and Times New Roman
  • Debossing on Front Cover (and / or Spine for Cloth Ring Binder): Debossing your artwork on the product.

Available foil colours for coloured cloth material (i.e. Cloth Ring Binder, Cloth 3 Sided, Cloth 4 Sided and Cloth Screwpost Portfolio) include: Gold, Silver, Bronze, Red or Black.

What is the difference between Spot Digital Print and Print Wrap products?
Spot Digital Print is offered on most of our products. This printing method prints straight on the surface of an end product. This is only available for printing on the front cover of the product.

Whereas, printing method for print wrap products prints the whole outer cover including 20mm bleed which will be turned in.
