Decoration & Imprint
4 methods
Your imprint is placed on the front or back cover of the journal. Available methods include Foil Stamp, Heat Transfer, Screen Print, and Deboss. For artwork with bold logos or typography, Foil Stamp or Deboss provide a crisp, tactile finish; for multi-color spot-color designs, Heat Transfer or Screen Print deliver smooth, opaque coverage.
Foil StampPMSone-time setup $75.00 · Full color
Foil stamping (hot stamping) presses a thin metallic foil onto the surface with a heated metal die, bonding it where the die makes contact and leaving a shallow pressed-in impression. The mark reads as a single reflective metallic tone: it throws light at some angles and darkens to an outline of itself at others, giving the logo depth against the base. Solid shapes and bold lettering hold cleanly; very fine lines and small text can soften as the foil seats under pressure.
Heat TransferPMSone-time setup $60.00 · Full color
Heat transfer prints your design in premixed spot inks onto a film, then bonds that film to the surface under heat and pressure. Each color goes down as its own solid ink, so edges stay crisp and color stays even across the mark. The result reads as a smooth, thin bonded layer — low-profile and flexible enough to move with the fabric, not ink soaked into the cloth.
Screen PrintPMS1 color/location included · one-time setup $60.00 · Up to 1 color
Screen printing presses ink through a fine mesh stencil, laying down each color as a separate pass. Each color lays down as its own premixed spot ink, printing solid and consistent across the run. The applied mark is flat and opaque, sitting on top of the material with crisp edges; on heavy coverage, you can feel a slight raised texture where ink builds up. The cured ink is durable and holds up to repeated handling and washing.
Debossone-time setup $75.00
Debossing presses your design into the material with a heated die, displacing the surface to leave a recessed impression below the surrounding plane. No ink, no added color. The mark is the substrate itself — a tonal, shadowed shape that catches light along its pressed edges and gives tactile depth under a fingertip. On grained leatherette the recess burnishes slightly darker; bold logos and simple type carry well, while intricate detail rounds and loses definition.

- What does foil stamping look like?
- Foil stamping presses a thin metallic foil onto the surface with a heated die, bonding it where the die makes contact and leaving a shallow pressed-in impression. The mark reads as a single reflective metallic tone that throws light at some angles and darkens to an outline of itself at others, giving the logo depth against the base. More about Foil Stamp →
- Can foil stamping print multiple colors or fine detail?
- Foil stamping applies one solid metallic tone per stamp, so it suits clean logos and bold typographic marks where a reflective finish matters more than exact color. Gradients, very small text and hairline detail can fill in or soften as the foil seats under die pressure. For printed brand colors or full-color artwork choose screen print or a full-color process. More about Foil Stamp →
- What is a heat transfer imprint?
- Heat transfer prints the design in premixed spot inks onto a film, then bonds that film to the surface under heat and pressure. Each color goes down as its own solid ink, so edges stay crisp and color stays even across the mark. The result is a smooth, thin bonded layer that flexes with the material rather than ink soaked into the cloth. More about Transfer →
