Answer: Registered emboss!
Embossing is often referred to as the 3rd dimension in your design. Raising type or an image within that design injects texture by creating shadow and depth, adding allure to your brochures, letterheads and business cards.
Embossing techniques can be used with or without added color or foil.
If the raised area registers with a printed image, we refer to it as a registered or printed emboss. Depending on your requirements and specifications, the raised area can stay inside the printed image or go beyond it. With an image featuring birds, leaves and butterflies, for example, you could just emboss the bird to draw more attention to it.

Is it possible to get a sample of this, or a similar product?
Good question! Unfortunately this product is from way back in 2017 and we no longer have the hangtag. Though they still seem to be using a similar label, we don’t see the hangtag on their site. You might want to reach out to them directly at [email protected] to see if they might have one they can spare. (This is their website: https://www.thinkingtreespirits.com/ ) Hope that helps!
