Embossing on planners (Cyprus)
Embossing on planners in Cyprus — 100-ton press on paperboard planner covers with raised relief. Runs from 30 units, 5–7 business day lead time from Limassol.
Why embossing on a paperboard planner is the right call for raised-relief premium corporate planners
A Nicosia law firm wanted 80 branded A5 dated planners for year-end client gifts, each carrying a 60×30 mm raised-relief logo on the front cover. Debossing recessed the logo but the firm wanted the raised-relief look for premium presentation. Embossing at 100-ton hydraulic press with a male-female die set raised the logo at 0.5 mm depth on the 350 gsm paperboard cover, finished the run in 6 business days. Cost: €12.40 per planner on a Castelli A5 350 gsm paperboard 12-month dated planner.
