On leather, the laser creates a dark, characteristic contrast, while on anodized aluminum, it exposes the underlying light metal layer, resulting in razor-sharp logos.

In contrast, the Embossing A mechanical process based on traditional craftsmanship. Here, a custom-made metal stamp – with initial costs of around €150,00 – is pressed into the material under high pressure. The result is a tactile, three-dimensional relief that exudes a timeless exclusivity, especially on vegetable-tanned leather. For larger print runs or club editions, this method is often the preferred choice due to its durability. Our guide on the topic offers a more in-depth look at the differences.
