Scodix press - the digital enhancement technology that allows us to make variety of finishes and embellishment available for short runs of packaging or even a production of a single Mock-up. It is cost-effective and time-efficient as all processes are performed without ordering additional tools such as dies or molds. The enhancement effect are transferred directly from the file to the printing sheet.
Scodix enhancements include the following effects.
Applying a microscopically thin layer of metallic foil to selected areas to enhance the text or graphic elements. It allows to achieve extra sharp detailing and creates a luxurious and elegant appearance, which is hard to achieve using traditional printing method. Foil available in gold, silver and several other colours.

Braille
Are two techniques used to either impress or depress an image into paper. Embossing is when you raise a particular area of your design to create a 3D graphic, and Debossing is the opposite, as you are creating an indent in the chosen material. It is achieved by pushing a metal die into paper.
These popular print effects are ideal for giving your print piece a fresh, contemporary look — and when combined with other effects, like foil stamping, embossed designs can transform a great piece to a luxury one.
