Leather embossing
All of our leather bound USB Sticks are available with blind embossing. Blind embossing is "stamped" on the leather with heat - this process allows your logo to appear with sharp edges. Thus, we are able to emboss "www.addresses" and smaller lettering on the leather.
What is embossing?
The names blind embossing or blind pressing actually come from book making. Fonts and motives are transparently embossed into leather with the aid of tools like stamps or plates.
The stamps are heated up to a specific temperature (approx. 80-90 °C), whereby, maintaining this temperature is very important. If the stamp is too hot, then the leather can burn or even be completely separated. If the stamp is too cold, then the desired result is not attained. If the stamp has the right temperature, it is then evenly pressed on the pre-moistened leather. The heat and the moistened area give the embossing its dark colour. The colour and sharpness of the embossing are dependent on the print, temperature and tools used.
Stamps can be positively or negatively cut. Negative engraving is popular. It is when contour and background are pressed and the motive appears to stand out. A relief stamp offers a very detail-rich presentation that gives the print a three-dimensional look.
From book making to blind embossing on a USB stick. The technology is almost identical even today. So, embossing your logo on a leather bound USB stick is the perfect chance to luxuriously capture your logo.
