The Magic Behind Raised Ink Printing

Vicky, who runs our printing facility, enjoys working on the thermography machine.

Ever wonder how our raised ink stationery is printed? We take great pride in creating crisp, vivid, highly textured printing that’s as luxurious to feel as it is eye-catching to see.

We create our raised ink printing through a technical process called “thermography.” Vicky, who manages the Giftsin24 printing facility, explained the process. Out of all the equipment in our state-of-the-art factory, the thermography machine is Vicky’s favorite one to work on. She enjoys the magic of the process and the vibrant, shiny results.

“First, we print your name onto the paper,” explains Vicky. “While the inked image is still wet, we spread a colored plastic powder onto it. The conveyor belt carries the paper through equipment that bakes the image at high heat for a few seconds. The ink and powder melts together to form a raised image.”

Example: Anthony Family Pride Note

Some of our products feature just a touch of raised ink; others go all out.

The Anthony Family Pride Note is a delight to touch because of the abundance of raised ink printing.

One of our favorites that pulls out all the stops is the Anthony Family Pride Note.  The texture of the raised-ink names, bullets and border makes this note a delight to touch and hold. Like most of our raised ink products, you can choose from among our 10 raised-ink colors. A young,  close-knit family would love this gift.
