If you’ve been online searching for custom packaging, you’ve probably heard the term debossing quite a lot. In case you’ve found all the speciality terms difficult, we’re here to help. Today you’re going to learn about debossing and how a debossed box can make your product stand out with a luxurious appeal.
Let’s start!
A Debossed Box - What Does It Mean

Blind Debossing or Registered Debossing
When you choose to go with debossed boxes, we can help you make it look astonishing. Debossing can be made with ink printing, without ink or a combination of the two. Let’s see how these two options look.
A blind debossed box means that the die is pressed against the paper without using ink. So the depression will be white (or unprinted). The lightbulb in the image below is blind debossed, while the company name is debossed with ink.

A box with registered debossing means that the debossed areas also have ink printed. Besides ink, you can also add foil stamping to make the contrast even higher. The picture below has both blind debossing for the pattern and foil debossing for the name.
