Debossing on notebooks (Cyprus)
Debossing on notebooks in Cyprus — 100-ton press on PU leather and real leather notebooks. Runs from 30 units, 5–7 business day lead time from Limassol.
Why debossing on a PU leather notebook is the most premium mark for Cyprus conference delegate kits
A Limassol fintech wanted 100 branded A5 notebooks for an investor-conference delegate kit, each carrying a 60×30 mm recessed logo on the front cover. UV printing sat on the PU leather as a film; laser engraving worked but the firm wanted the premium tone-on-tone debossed look. Debossing at 100-ton hydraulic press with a metal die recessed the logo at 0.3 mm depth into the PU leather, finished the run in 6 business days. Cost: €8.40 per notebook on a Castelli A5 PU leather 80-page notebook.
