Printed graphics for packaging, labels or signs including an etched or embossed appearance enhanced with a three-dimensional effect. The graphic includes a transparent substrate, a first extraordinarily thick ridge of ink deposited to form an image on one side of the substrate and a second extraordinarily thick ridge of ink deposited on the other side of the substrate. The two extraordinarily thick ridges preferably are in registration with one another to provide a three-dimensional appearance of the design. For an embossed appearance, the ridges of ink are uniformly smooth. For an etched appearance, the ridges of ink are formed with a textured pattern. A layer of reflective material may be sprayed, electroplated or vacuum metallized onto the substrate over the first thick ridge of ink to further enhance the appearance of the design. Alternatively, a label stock may be pressed onto the substrate over the first ridge of ink on the substrate. Optionally, a protective coating may be deposited over the second ridge of ink and the transparent substrate. |
