  • Blindstamp - A blindstamp, also known as a blind impression or blind embossing, is an indentation or raised design on paper or other materials made without using any ink or foil. It is created by pressing a die, stamp, or engraved plate onto the surface of the material, leaving a mark or relief that is visible when viewed from a certain angle. Blindstamping is often used in printing and bookbinding as a decorative element or to add texture to a surface, and can be combined with other printing techniques such as letterpress or foil stamping for a more elaborate effect.
