Embossing?

An extract from a special report , "Now there is Proof - Foil can be a sustainable choice " by the FSEA ( The Foil & Specialty Effects Association)


Understanding that the landscape for folding cartons and all packaging is changing drastically, the Foil Stamping & Embossing Association (FSEA) is taking a proactive step to aggressively market the use of foil and embossing as a sustainable (environmentally-friendly) choice to decorate cartons, labels, and other paper and board products.

Embossing is probably the most sustainable decorating process available, as the embellishment is accomplished through the stretching of the paper stock and no additional product, such as ink, coating, or foil, is added to the stock. Including an embossed image or type can enhance the look of a package or other product with little or no environmental impact.
