Avoid the middleman when purchasing printed foil stamped diplomas

When you’re in need of quality printed foil stamped diplomas for your college or university graduating classes, Corcoran Printing is the best source if you want it done in-house. Many college print buyers don’t realize that the majority of printers out there don’t actually have in-house foil stamp capability. It’s a specialty that’s often out-sourced, which can result in an increased cost for the consumer in the form of a high markup and excess shipping fees.

What exactly is foil stamping for a diploma? It’s the application of a metallic foil to paper via an intricately designed heated die that adheres the foil to the paper surface. Foil stamping can be combined with embossing, for a 3D print effect. Embossing involves the use of two dies. It can be done on its own to achieve a raised design effect or combined with foil stamping to achieve a look of elegance on an academic diploma. You often see intricately designed foil stamped and embossed college seals or logos on diplomas. While embossing creates a raised surface, debossing is a print effect that will press the shape down, creating an indent. Whichever specialty print finishes you select, they can enhance the look of your academic diplomas. Foil printed diplomas can help represent your university and honor your graduates for their achievements.
