Q: Can I print embossed letterheads on my office printer?
A: Yes, embossed letterheads work with laser and inkjet printers. Embossing is on header area only, leaving body clear for printing.
Q: What’s the minimum order for embossed letterheads?
A: 500 sheets minimum due to embossing die creation. Digital printing without embossing: 250 sheets minimum.
Q: Can you match my exact brand colors?
A: Yes, we use Pantone Matching System (PMS) for precise color reproduction. Provide Pantone codes for accuracy.
Q: Should I order A4 or US Letter size?
A: Depends on your market. International businesses often order both. A4 for global use, US Letter if operating in North America.
Q: What’s the difference between embossing and thermography?
A: Embossing creates dimensional effect by pressing paper. Thermography uses heat to raise ink. Embossing is more durable and premium.
