Image Soft
The Image Soft process applies a single color on top of fabric to create a variety of soft dimensional colors. The resulting look and feel is soft, rich, and luxurious.
3-D Frost
3-D Frost creates a dramatic dimensional crystal-like look on a printed surface. It is particularly effective when used in combination with foils.
Glitter Flocking
In this process, glitter and flocking are combined to create a sparkling and soft surface. There are a variety of flocking colors which can be used in this process.

Leo's special flocking process can be applied to an area of up to 26 in. x 36 in., or spot-flocked to a pattern or shape. The flocking is available in a variety of colors, including translucent, which reveals the printed color underneath.
Thermography
The thermography process produces a raised pattern giving your design a distinctive effect. A special powder when combined with ordinary printing ink causes the ink to rise when heated.
Foils & Films
Foil is available in various colors and patterns: glossy, matte, metallic, and holographic. Foils are applied with a hot stamping method. Iridescent film which produces a rainbow effect is laminated onto the paper surface.
Special Inks
Special inks possess unique characteristics such as pearlescence, glow-in-the-dark, fluorescence, and conductivity.
Paper Graining
Graining is a unique process that impresses paper with a specific texture, creating both a visual and tactile effect. A variety of in-house embossing-like dies are used to impart the texture onto the paper. Combining graining with other processes can create distinctive and unique looks to a variety of products.
Gilding
The Gilding process involves applying color to the outer edges of a book’s pages. Gilding comes in a variety of opaque and metallic colors.
Embossing/ Die-cutting

3-D Relief
This material looks and feels like plastic. It can be applied on a cloth surface in any design or pattern that you imagine.
Mono-print
The Mono-print process produces a one-of-a-kind single-color effect that resembles a rubber-stamped or stenciled look.
Brushstrokes
This process uses a brush stroke texture to produce a dimensional line which creates the look and feel of applied paint.

Leather-Like
This process transforms paper giving it the look and feel of textured leather.
3D Hot Stamping
The 3D Hot Stamping process creates an effect of poured metal similar to quick-silver.

Hi-rise Flocking
Hi-rise Flocking is a process used on cloth cases. The soft flocking material is actually high lifted off the surface on which it is applied.
Graining Flocking
Graining Flocking creates an embossed look and feel to the flocking material. It adds a texture to the smooth softness of the flocking.
