Can my artwork be debossed with foil?

Can my artwork be debossed with foil?

Our foil presses apply foil using a combination of heat and pressure, this creates an indentation (debossed effect) in the stock when the foil is applied. We are often asked to increase the pressure for a deeper impression, since the debossed indentation is an often desired effect. Hot foil blocking is also sometimes called Foil Letterpress, due to the debossed impression it creates. We can also blind deboss without a foil colour which creates a really nice effect, especially on cotton based papers! Please note that, the depth of foil debossing is done at the discretion of the foil technician. We will not deboss a job to the point where it may risk resulting in a poor quality print or potentially damage to our equipment.
