To ensure your embossed design prints perfectly, please follow these guidelines:
• Use Adobe Illustrator
We recommend using Adobe Illustrator to take full advantage of its vector tools, ensuring your design remains crisp and precise.
• Vector Artwork & Solid Black
Create your embossed elements as vector artwork and fill them with 100% solid black. This guarantees a clean, consistent look in the final product.
• Dedicated Embossing Layer
Place all elements intended for embossing on their own layer. Label this layer “Embossing” to clearly separate it from the rest of your design.
• Export as a Press‑Ready PDF
Once your design is finalized, export your file as a press‑ready PDF to maintain quality and accuracy during printing.
In Adobe Illustrator, your embossed artwork should appear as a rich, pure 100% black vector design. This precise, solid black is essential for a clean and accurate emboss die.
