More about Braille / raised varnish

Embossed ink literally gives printed matter an extra dimension. This special ink layer creates a tangible and visible elevation on the paper, similar to the effect of blind embossing or embossing. Because the varnish is transparent, the design remains fully visible, while still creating a tangible structure that makes the printed product distinctive. The result is a finish that can be both subtle and impressive.

The applications of relief ink are wide and range from playful to functional. For example, the ink can be used to create the illusion of sugar sprinkled on the paper, or to mimic tangible drops of water on a glass of soft drink. This makes printed matter more vivid and sensory. At the same time, the technology also offers practical applications, such as tactile safety pictograms for the blind and visually impaired. These can be applied to self-adhesive labels, for example, making the message not only visible but also tactile.

The result is printed material that stands out for its tactile qualities and adds value to the user experience. Relief Ink combines creativity with functionality and makes a design both attractive and accessible. This results in printed matter that literally captures the imagination and is experienced as tactile.
