New Print Method: Sculpted Embossing
Sculpted embossing is a sophisticated variation on embossing wherein a multilevel, contoured appearance allows for a variety of depth, edges, and curves for a deeper and more detailed emboss to your design. Flower petals and leaves look life-like, and mountains and valleys feel rich with topographical detail. Our luxuriously thick 2- and 3-ply papers beautifully showcase sculpted embossing, the perfect customization for any memorable occasion.
We recently printed a suite for our dear friends at Glow Paper Company that prominently features sculpted embossing. The company’s Creative Director, Haleigh, explains, “This bride wanted an elegant and timeless wedding invitation but with a wow factor! Surrounding her classic gold foil text in sculpted florals was the perfect fit.”

Here’s another example of the detail possible with this print method, courtesy of Meg from Meg Morrow Design. Our friend Meg explains that the invitation is for a 15th-anniversary party held at the couple’s home. The sculpted emboss flowers used throughout the design capture the flowers used in the couple’s wedding, creating a timeless memory in paper.

Sculpted Embossing Basics
Sculpted embossing is compatible with all of our papers, but we think it looks the most striking on our 3-ply paper; the thickness of the paper allows for the multiple levels to provide dramatic results.
This technique can also be combined with our other print methods, allowing you to truly design a creative, one-of-a-kind piece that adds stunning and swoon-worthy detail.
We love sculpted embossing and look forward to featuring this print method in more designs. Contact us to learn more and get a quote for your invitation using sculptured embossing!
