Our Services

At Larkin, we specialize in providing the finest print finishing services in the industry. With over 40 years of experience taking on the tough jobs other companies pass up, we understand the importance of quality, precision, and fast service. Our expertise includes:

Die Cutting

Die cutting is the process of using a die to cut shapes from a sheet of stock, such as paper or cardboard. From a simple rectangular window to multiple intricate designs, our die cutting services can help you create the perfect cutout for your product or packaging.

Hot Foil Stamping

Foil stamping is the application of foil to a selected substrate using heat and pressure to create a stylish, durable image. At Larkin, we use hot foil stamping because it is the only method that meets the most stringent requirements, such as handling rough surfaces and tactile designs with outstanding brilliance and durability. We offer a vast selection of colors and tactile effects to achieve maximum customer attraction, with styles available from premium manufacturers including Kurz, Infinity, and General Roll Leaf.

Embossing and Debossing

The embossing process creates a raised image by applying pressure to the substrate. When an indentation is preferred, the process is referred to as debossing. Embossing effects truly make print or images stand out, and create tactile sensations to enhance your design. Embossing can single level, multi-level, or sculptured images. Embossing can also be combined with with foil stamping, referred to as combo embossing, to create an even more enhanced look for your designs.
