What we do

Post-press finishing services

Diemaking, die adjustments, diecutting, scoring, perforating, foil stamping, embossing, folding, gluing and shrink wrap, with electronic prepress when you need it.

Diecutting

Custom shapes cut cleanly from the sheet: pocket folders, presentation folders, boxes and cartons, tags, door hangers and labels. Scoring and perforating run in the same pass, so pieces fold and tear where they should.

  • Business card slits
  • Sheets up to 29×41

Steel rule dies

We make steel rule dies in our own shop, so a job doesn’t wait on an outside die maker. Already have a die? We adjust and alter existing dies too.

Embossing & debossing

Raised or recessed detail that people notice when they pick a piece up: a logo on a folder, a pattern on an invitation, a border on a certificate.

  • Debossing
  • Emboss combined with foil

Electronic prepress

Electronic prepress is available in house, so files for dies, foil and embossing can be prepared here before the job goes on press. Ask about it when you request a quote.
