PERSONALISATION OPTIONS
It’s the little details that make an album truly unique. Personalise your beautiful album with an array of different custom options.
A time-honed and meticulous process. Debossing is also known as blocking, blind blocking or block stamping but it’s all the same satisfying, tactile finish. Traditional methods are used to imprint letters into the cover, stamping your text without the need for ink or foil. We’ve created a handy guide on exactly how to personalise your album in Digitalab Album Designer – download available below.
Suitable for: Vintage Leather | Nappa Leather | Birch Leather | Suede | Vegan Leather
UV Overprint is a method that allows us to print directly onto our materials in either black or white. Similar to our custom blocking option, this option allows you almost infinite creativity with your own bespoke designs or text/font options. Taking away the need to order a custom debossing block, with UV printing there is also no indentation to the cover, providing a smooth and flawless finish.
