View Branding Limitations
| LIMITATIONS | MinimumSize | Description |
| Minimum Text Height | 3mm | The smallest text must be at least 3mm high to ensure legibility after debossing. |
| Line Thickness | 0.75mm | Ensure that the artwork elements to be debossed are at least 0.75mm thick with 1mm spacing between elements to avoid “plugging” (where elements clump together). |
| Detail Limitations | Avoid fine details in the design, as they may not be distinguishable post-debossing. | |
| Colour Restrictions | No Color | Shading, gradients, and full-color designs are not suitable for debossing since the process involves heating the logo onto the product, which can only accommodate solid colored logos. |
Common warnings used on the layout
