The production of leather labelsis a meticulous process that combines high-quality materials, precise techniques and creative design. It begins with the selection of the right type of leather, whether it is real leather or imitation leather. The choice of the right material depends on the finishing technique.
Below you can learn more about the different types of leather finishing and the production of leather labels.
Finishing Options for Leather Labels
Leather finishing is critical to achieving the desired appearance, durability and functionality of the labels. Some finishing techniques such as embossing, laser engraving, printing or stamping may require special materials or machinery.
- Laser Engraving
In engraving, companies use engraving machines to engrave the desired motifs or text into the leather. This is done with the help of laser engraving machines. Laser engraved leather labels are elegant and ideal for fine details or intricate lettering.
- Printing
Some manufacturers also offer printing on leather labels. The images or text are printed directly onto the leather. This allows for precise and detailed personalization and is particularly suitable for complex artwork. The disadvantage is that the print may fade over time.
- Debossing
Debossing is the process of embossing a design, logo or text into the surface of the material as a recessed (indented) pattern. It can be felt when you run your fingers over it. This method is often used to create a more subtle and elegant look.
Process: The material is pressed between an embossing plate (containing the negative of the design) and a flat surface. The pressure embosses the design into the surface of the material.
Effect: The result is an embossed design that is pressed into the surface of the material and can also be felt.
- Embossing
Embossing is the process of embossing a design, logo or text onto the surface of a material as a raised pattern. Embossing feels raised when you run your fingers over it. In some cases, the raised pattern is given a different color to make the design stand out even more. It also lends a three-dimensional effect.
Process: This is achieved by pressing the material between an embossing plate (with the positive of the design) and a die (with the negative of the design). The pressure emphasizes the design on the surface of the material.
Effect: The result is a raised design that rises above the surface of the material and can be felt.
