Photopolymer Embossing is ideally suited to the food and beverage, cosmetic and wine label markets; allowing virtually any substrate to have an embossed effect and increasing product appeal on the shelf with the Luxury Label look associated with embossing.

The technology allows both Hot and Cold foil labels to be embossed; further enhancing the finished product.

Invented by Trinity Graphic, the concept of Rotary Photopolymer Embossing is the application of two hard durometer male and female Photopolymer plates applied to simply engineered dieblanks in a Rotary die station on virtually any web fed press. This would include Flexo, Gravure, Letterpress and Offset equipment.

This alternative to the steel engraved embossing dies is considerably less expensive, and can be manufactured in 24 hours. Certain tag, ticket and carton materials can also be embossed. An evaluation can be made once we have received a sample of the stock.

We have the opportunity to provide embossed proofs prior to expensive press runs, demonstrating to clients the finished product in a variation of embossed styles. We also offer standard embossing patterns to help customers select the right embossing pattern for their labels.

Positive Aspects over Engraved Cylinders:

Comparable quality to existing technology
Inexpensive in comparison
24 hour turnaround
Reduced shipping costs
Dieblanks used for multiple projects
Suitable for Braille and sight impaired uses
Overall paper patterns can be created
Opportunities for short run in one pass

This process also can be used in many other markets including Envelope, Gift-wrap, Carton, Tag, Ticket and Stock Texturing.
