ADD BRANDING There are many ways we can apply your company identity to Moleskine objects, from classic printing techniques through to the latest technological advances.

SCREEN

DEBOSS

One of the oldest printing techniques still in use today.

Screen print can be applied in almost any colour and the finished results are bright, eye-catching colours. This technique works well with print in one to four colours.

This technique creates a strong indentation which can be felt when touched. No colour is added so the notebook retains its original colour, for an effect that’s both elegant and discreet. We can also offer debossing to the back cover of your Moleskine object.

FOIL BLOCKING

DIGITAL

This printing technique has been used for thousands of years to decorate objects using gold leaf. Similar to debossing, it leaves an indentation which can be felt and the result is striking and elegant. Standard colours used are gold, silver, copper or bronze (other foil colours available, please contact us for details).*

A newer technique that allows for reproduction of full colour text and photographic images for an effect that’s visually striking and highly effective. It’s an excellent branding solution that means that you do not have to compromise your full colour design.

* Foil blocking is only available on hard backed books.
