Frequently Asked Questions

Embossing vs Debossing?+

In practice often interchangeable. Technically: Embossing = raised pattern, Debossing = recessed. Leather goods usually deboss (recessed), paper boxes go either way. Choose based on visual effect.

How deep can embossing go?+

Leather: 0.3-1mm. Paper: 0.5-2mm. Too deep risks breakthrough. Keep depth to 30-40% of material thickness.

Embossing vs hot stamping — which is more expensive?+

Similar, hot stamping slightly higher (foil material cost). Embossing only needs plate setup. Choose embossing for minimalist, hot stamping for ornate.

What's the MOQ for embossing?+

MOQ 200-300 units. Plate setup fee NT$3,000-8,000 depending on complexity, deductible from order. Small rush runs available at 30-50% premium.
