Customisation Embossing Laser Etching Embossing is a process of stamping the fabric with letter blocks at great pressure and temperature. We use one sans serif font which is 1cm high. Available in plain or gold/silver/white colour. By using focused laser beam, we are able to burn into the fabric, wood or leather. The final effect depends on several variables including fabric type. We recommend it for wood/leather and colibri linens. We provide personalized attention to each and every project, so your customised cover will exceed expectations. Customisation delivers an extra, personal touch that will delight you for years to come. Choose one or multiple customisation features, including: embossing laser etching cameo photo stripe full photo cover overprint Photostripe or 3/4 stripe Full Photocover A great blend of linen and photocover. Photo part of the cover has a scratch free laminate on top for durability. The 3/4 version of the stripe extends to the front corners of the book.
