The finishing stages of a Colprint print job can truly transform printed materials. Our custom printing offers a variety of options with our knowledgeable team able to help you choose the ideal print process for your project.

Die Cut

If you’re looking to break the mould and produce printed products in intricate and interesting shapes, Die Cut is the perfect special printing process for you. Ideal for pop-up cards, envelopes, business cards and promotional flyers and leaflets, Die Cut delivers unrivalled customisation in alternative cuts and folds that are sure to make an impact.

De-Embossing

Much like embossing, this provides a textural finish, however, instead, the de-embossed element is indented into the material and offers a more subtle aesthetic when combined with a careful choice of background colour and weight.

Perforating

Adding easy utility without sacrificing style, our perforation finishes allow sections of your printed products to be easily torn away without damaging the rest of the piece. The perforation line can be as subtle and small as you require with a variety of shapes available as an alternative to the traditional straight line.

Foiling

Available in holographic, matt and gloss finishes, foiling adds an eye-catching yet understated dimension of elegance to our custom printing services.

Created by a heat process which substitutes standard ink for a thin film of foil, this process is ideal for logos and delicate lettering.

Embossing

Embossed business card: custom printing watford

This finish creates a raised texture to your logo or lettering and ensures that the embossed element of your document or brochure stands out.

The effect is created by the design being pressed into the reverse of the material and creates a high quality and crafted effect.

Thermographic Printing

This process results in graphics and text to be slightly raised from the print material and is ideal for making a real impact.

Thermorgraphic printing is frequently used for business cards, letterheads and wedding invitations due to the glossy feel of the finish.
