Services
Foiling
Our environmentally friendly foiling process enhances materials with metallic finishes without using solvents. Available in gold, silver, and specialty finishes like pearlescent and diffraction, this technique adds depth and vibrancy to business cards, certificates, and promotional items. The process provides security features for official documents while maintaining compatibility with various substrates including leather and plastic.
Embossing/Debossing
Create tactile impressions with our multi-level embossing and debossing services. This technique produces three-dimensional effects on stationery and packaging, with options to combine foil application for enhanced visual impact. Ideal for business cards, book covers, and luxury packaging requiring distinctive branding elements.
Laser Cutting
Achieve intricate designs with our computer-controlled laser cutting systems. This service handles complex patterns in paper, plastic, and wood without tooling costs. Applications include business cards, invitations, and signage with accuracy down to 0.1mm, supporting both small and large production runs with consistent quality.
UV Varnishing
Enhance printed materials with our UV varnish application that adds protective sheen and visual contrast. This process works particularly well over matt lamination to highlight specific design elements. Ideal for brochures, packaging, and marketing materials requiring durable, high-impact finishes.
Lamination
We offer comprehensive lamination solutions including gloss, matt, silk, and anti-scuff finishes. Our films maintain compatibility with additional processes like foil blocking and UV varnishing.

Thank you to Paul and the team at Impressions for getting us out of a 'hole'. Our customer is as thrilled with the job as are we. I cannot recommend highly enough. They have been a supplier for around 20 years and have never let us down even when we have presented them with impossible deadlines!

Used Impressions for my business cards for the last 9 years my customers are always commenting on how good they are. As they are made of plastic with a high quality foil print people keep hold of them or pass them on as a recommendation. The company always print them for me in record time and i find the team a real pleasure to deal with nothing is too much trouble. Will use them again and again for many years to come. Thank you Impressions keep up the good work.

Product from Impressions was not fit for purpose and the quality of customer service left a lot to be desired. Would not order from this firm again.
