Why Choose Thermography & Offset Printing?

 

Applications: The most common use for thermography printing is for business cards and business stationery. It is also used for wedding invitations, greeting cards, report covers and other printed items. You can also apply thermography to specific portions of the sheet only, thereby creating a special effect that is not achievable using any other means.

​

Colors: Most applications would call for a clear powder so that the raised area takes the color of the printed ink. However, for special applications, different colored powders are also available: white, gold, silver, copper and even glow-in-the-dark.

Advantages: Raised printing looks professional and eye-catching. Thermography is a much cheaper alternative to engraving or embossing. It literally adds another dimension to the printed piece. Because the ink is heated and dried after passing through the heat tunnel, the printed piece is completely dry and can be trimmed or packaged immediately

 

Disadvantages: The raised ink cannot go across a fold or bleed as it would crack when folded or cut.
