- EMBOSSING & DEBOSSING
Is the
process in which paper is pressed into a relief using heat and pressure.
It requires an etched metal die and a matching counterdie. When a paper
stock is pressed between the heated die and the counterdie, the desired
image is pressed into the stock.
Embossing creates a raised image on the paper. When the same process
creates an indented image, it is called debossing. You can
achieve an elegant embossed effect with only one level of etching that
renders a flat image with either a beveled or rounded edge, or a
sculpted look with many levels of etching.
Embossing adds a distinctive touch to folders, business cards,
stationery, folders, and covers. Choose a blind emboss or add foil or
ink to create a distinctive emboss that’s sure to stand out. Back to top
- FOIL STAMPING
The basic
concept behind foil stamping is simple. The process is achieved when a stamping
die is mounted on a platen and heated. Foil is then placed between the
die and the material to be imprinted. When the die presses against the
foil, the heat releases the coloring layer from the foil and binds it to
the end product.
Foil stamping does not produce a raised image. In the print finishing
industry it’s called flat foil when the design is not raised; but
when it’s combined with embossing, it is called foil embossing.
Foil stamping is the only printing process capable of applying bright,
non-tarnishable metallic effects to paper.
Foils are not limited to gold and silver, or for that matter, even
metallic finishes. In fact, foil stamping is available in a wide array
of colors, finishes and effects, such as: marble, snake skin, wood
grains, pigments, metallics, subtle tints, matte and gloss finishes as
well as, defraction and holographic foils.
The slightest variation in paper, foil, temperature or pressure can
affect the outcome, so the skill of our press operator is invaluable and
critical to the quality of the finished product. Trust our experience
and expertise when using foil stamping on your project. Here at Trade
Print Finishing our foil stamping really outshines the rest. Back to top

- DIE CUTTING
At Trade die cutting is a specialty, not a side line. We can die cut as
small as a business card size, all the way up to a 40 inch full-size
sheet. We can handle a myriad of different substrates from paper, board,
and corrugated, to plastics. For quicker production times we make most
of our dies in-house. A die cut is achieved by first creating a
steel-rule die that is used for cutting the material in the desired
shape. We can produce anything from display boxes, header cards,
point-of-purchase displays, to pocket folders. We have a wide range of
“stock” cutting forms at your disposal, with no charge for
their usage. Or we can help you design a custom form to give your
project an extra something. Back to top
- UV COATING
At Trade
Print Finishing we offer both Flood U.V. coating and Spot U.V.
coating. U.V. liquid lamination adds depth and shine to the whole
sheet or just specific areas of any printed piece with a U.V. coating.
The process involves applying a liquid and curing it with ultraviolet
light to form a glossy surface. The U.V. process doesn’t involve
the traditional solvent-based chemicals, and is therefore a more
environmentally friendly coating procedure.
When a coating is applied to a specific area, as opposed to an overall
surface of the sheet, this application process is referred to as spot
coating. This process allows images or other printed or embossed
elements, to be even further enhanced.
U.V. coating also improves the durability and the protection of the
printed piece. This process can be used on magazine and book covers,
calendars, labels, and many other unique projects.

- GENUINE ENGRAVING
In
today’s society everyone wants to stand out and get noticed. And
nothing makes your project stand out quite like engraving.
It’s a surefire way of adding depth to almost any job.
Engraved images are created with three simple steps. First, the image is
acid-etched, hand tooled or photo-engraved into a copper or steel plate.
Next, the plate is set up on a die stamping press and, the paper is
forced into the ink filled crevices of the plate. The result is a finely
detailed image embossed on the surface of the paper, with a subtle
debossing on the back of the sheet. The benefits of engraving, or die
stamping as it is more correctly referred to, are: it’s ability to
hold fine detail, the opacity of the thick layer of embossed ink, and
the actual metallic particles that give metallic inks a shiny
appearance.
Engraving communicates professionalism. Your corporate identity materials
set the tone for how others respond to you. Let us help you create
materials that are going to best communicate who you are. At Trade Print
Finishing we can engrave anything from business cards to envelopes and
letterheads to wedding announcements and just about everything in
between. Back to top

liner. Some typical applications where Transfer Tape is used are: card
board envelopes, CD wallets, product information sheets, and any other
item where you need a strong adhesive strip with a removable liner. Back to top
- RE-MOISTENABLE GLUE
The
application of adhesive glue that can be moistened when adhesion is
desired is called remoistenable glue. In the process we apply
glue to the surface of your project that can be moistened when adhesion
is desired. This is the same type of glue that is used on envelops to
get them to seal shut.
This process can be used on envelops, forms, documents or anything else
you can dream up.
