After printing, this effect is created by dusting wet ink with metallic powder afterward.

Bronzing is a printing technique that uses chemical or metallic powders to create an embossed 3D effect on paper or cardstock, frequently used for business cards, invitations and other stationery items.

Starting off the process requires printing out your design. Next, a thin layer of adhesive is spread onto the paper before scattering bronzing powder on top of it – any excess powder being brushed away afterward.

Once applied, the powder is heat-sealed onto paper for a raised, 3D effect that adds depth and dimension to any design.

Bronzing can create an array of effects ranging from subtle to dramatic, adding visual interest and visual distinction to printed materials.

What are the purposes of bronzer?

Bronzing can serve many functions, from adding visual interest to print pieces to conveying luxury or sophistication in a piece.

How does bronzing differ from other printing techniques?

Bronzing stands alone when it comes to creating a metallic sheen on printed materials. Other printing processes, such as foil stamping or embossing, may produce similar effects; however, only bronzing has the capacity for creating true metallic shine.

What are the advantages of bronzing?

Bronzing offers numerous advantages, from being an efficient and cost-effective way to add an air of luxury to printed materials to make them more eye-catching and memorable – helping it stand out against its competition.

Bronzing is an integral component of printing processes as it ensures more durable and uniform prints. By applying bronzing treatments, your print will feature even color distribution and consistent finish quality – as well as help prevent problems like smudging and fading that often plague unprotected prints.
