We get questions all the time about how thermography is different than some of our other printing processes, and we would like to explain a little more about it.

What is thermography? Created in the early 20^th century as a more cost-effective option to engraving, thermography is a three-dimensional printing effect that gives a finished look of engraving created with a wet-ink printing press without actually carving into the paper material. Using a powder application and heating process, the materials are built upon one another to be raised off of the page. This expensive look is achieved is still often a more affordable price than engraving or similar printing uses.

Thermography is a common choice made in invitations, announcements, holiday cards, and other similar prints with particularly intricate fonts and other designs. Dependent on your printing shop, they can often offer thermography in a variety of color options that will match your style or theme. It’s also important to find a typeset that will work well with this style of print and can be legible to those who will be receiving it.
