Can you multi-level emboss a wine label?

Yes — a sculpted, multi-level die is exactly how you get terraces or contours into a label rather than a single flat step. The constraint is application: keep the deep relief inside the panel and the glue perimeter flat, or the label lifts on a curved bottle. Start a quote with this spec.

A hillside embossed in four levels

Two rules

02One ink beside the emboss. A single rust letterpress stencil, printed off to the side of the embossed field.
