A letter for you

The same logo lives a different life pressed deep into letterpress, sealed in gold foil, or engraved along the grain of the wood. Every technique gives it a texture, a shine, and a way of lasting. We gathered all 95 under one roof so your brand can use the one its story asks for.

With warmth, imprecxo.

Questions about technique

The finish decides how your brand reads up close.

How many techniques do you work with?

We work 95 techniques across printing, engraving, embossing, cutting, and binding, all under one roof. Every piece is finished with the one that shows your brand best on its material.

How do I choose the right technique for my brand?

The right technique follows from the piece, the material, and how you want your brand to read. Tell us what you have in mind and we propose the one that solves it best, with examples of real pieces.

Can I combine several techniques on one piece?

Yes, a single piece can carry printing, foil, and emboss at once, each one on its own register. That gives you layers of detail that show up close.

Which materials do they apply to?

We apply techniques on paper, board, leather, wood, metal, crystal, textile, and more. The right technique follows from the material and from the finish you want to show.

What is the difference between engraving, foil, and emboss?

Engraving removes material and leaves your brand sunk in and permanent. Foil seals a metallic film with heat. Embossing raises or sinks your logo with a die, in ink or blind.

Can I try a finish on just a few pieces?

One piece is enough to start. Many brands try a finish on a short run, hold it in hand, and decide the volume from there.
