Our engraved rollers are used in the following industries
Composite Decking & Cladding
Composite decking and cladding feature a realistic wood grain effect created with embossed rollers, providing a non-slip and high-quality appearance. They are commonly used in various settings, including static caravans, holiday homes, domestic residences, commercial spaces, and as exterior cladding on buildings.
Tissue & Towel
Our embossing rollers enhance the quality and functionality of kitchen towels, toilet tissue, packet tissues, tissue boxes, and paper hand towels. The distinctive design enhances both the visual appeal and performance, offering improved liquid absorption and a softer feel. We have a successful partnership with Kimberly Clark, a global leader in the tissue/towel sector.
Flooring
Embossed products enhance various flooring types, including wood and vinyl, offering a textured finish resembling stone, slate, or rubber. This technique is also applied to carpet backing and underlay. Our collaboration with clients like Amtico Flooring reflects our expertise in this field.
Pharmaceutical Packaging
We specialize in pharmaceutical packaging by embossing foil packs for medicines. Whether it’s the entire strip, individual tablets, or specific designs/logos, we collaborate with clients to enhance both the visual appeal and usability of the packaging.
Napkins
Embossed napkins, serviettes, and high-end disposable coasters are commonly used in the hospitality industry, including restaurants, bars, clubs, and takeaways. They’re also popular for domestic events like parties and dinners, featuring various designs from patterns to logos.
Metal Embossing
Embossed metal, up to 4 meters long, is widely used in public transport for anti-slip surfaces on seats, floors, elevators, and aircraft engine heat shields. Its durability and decorative features make it a versatile choice for both safety and aesthetics.
Cladding
Embossed cladding adds visual depth, transforming 2D into 3D. Ideal for caravans, home offices, gardens, and leisure homes, it provides a natural finish through embossing.
Packaging
We supply a wide range of packaging, from Swarovski jewelry boxes to high-end writing paper, festive wrapping, and branded coffee sleeves for companies like Costa Coffee, all produced with our rollers.
Foil
Embossed foil is widely used in food packaging (e.g., yogurt lids, juice lids, kitchen foil) and luxury gift wrap. Our embossing rollers can customize the desired look for your product.
Non-woven Fabrics
Nonwoven fabrics are purpose-built materials, not woven or knitted, often crafted from recyclable materials for eco-friendliness. Embossed varieties find applications in medical, tissue, towel, and napkin manufacturing, enhancing thickness and offering decorative options.
Paper and Board
Enhance your paper and board creations with our expert embossing services. Explore intricate designs and tactile enhancements for a sophisticated touch. Elevate your brand with precision embossing for a premium finish.
Rigid & Flexible Plastics
Our embossed rollers add detail to large plastics (e.g., hospital wall panels) and smaller items (e.g., corrugated shed roofs). Flexible plastics are used in diverse food industry products like carrier bags, yogurt lids, and microwave meal packaging.
Artificial Leather
Our cylinders cater to various automotive components, from car seats to dashboards and rubber mats. We collaborate with global brands, including Formula 1 teams, to create exclusive designs under strict commercial terms, including NDAs when necessary.
Glass Embossing
We specialize in door and window glass, ranging from elaborate front door designs to privacy-focused bathroom frosted glass.
Wall Coverings
Like flooring, wallpaper is often embossed and printed for textured designs. Our cylinders are globally used by top wall covering brands like Lincrusta.
Film
Film embossing varies from textured photographic paper to extruded plastic films like polythene. The process involves manufacturing plastic pellets into a film through extrusion. This embossed film serves a practical purpose in car tires, preventing surfaces from sticking together due to the embossed texture.
Automotive materials
Car interiors commonly feature embossed materials, with even leather undergoing embossing for a textured grain. From door panels to seats, dashboards, and gear stick surrounds, anything leather-like in a car is likely embossed. We’ve applied this technique to bespoke interiors in high-profile motor-sports settings.
