I feel this will draw special attention to the detail the illustrations have and bring character to the product, giving it a high-quality finish. I am also hoping to use a perforator for tearable tags for the barrister to open. This will help keep the coffee fresh and lock in the aroma of the coffee beans. I will explain this further in my next blog post.
I am also curious to line the inside of the packaging with a foil sheeting. This will again keep the coffee fresh and protect the contents from having contact with moisture.

Upon researching this finishing technique I learnt that there are five types of die and die depth, Single Level, Round Edge, Beveled Edge, Multilevel Edge, Sculptured Edge.
There are also three types of Dies, Magnesium, Copper and Brass. Each material is used depending on the specifications of the print order, such as the amount of impressions required and quality. Of course this comes at a price. Magnesium is the cheapest while Brass is the most expensive but delivers the highest quality and durability.
