Relief type press makes invitations, business cards etc. objects look more exclusively and underlines separate elements, creating considerable difference from usual print without after-treatment.

 

To get the colour into the relief, a foil is used. This term in polygraphy is called as foil press, which could be used in heat type pressing, as well as in relief type pressing. Foil type choice is very different, from colour, as well as from glitter, but more often the gold and the silver foils are used. You probably have heard of gold type press or silver type press!

Lamination is covering the polygraphy products with film. While laminating the polygraphy products, the colours become, visually, much brighter and shining, as well they protect printed work from dirt, humidity and mechanical damages. Laminating films are mat, glanced and also with UV protection.
