Category: Embellishments

There are many kinds of embellishments that can be added to artwork, such as holograms, embosses, foils, varnishes, plasticotes, dieformes, virkotype, the list goes on. The best place to see examples of embellishments is your nearest liquor store, and no doubt there will be dozens of embellishments on most of the wine (and spirit) labels on the shelves. There is no doubt that use of embellishments can make artwork more appealing, but there can be consequences of adding embellishments to artwork and it is a good idea to be aware of them.
