[QUOTE="W8 a minute, post: 2643850, member: 570378"] You can use closed cell foam or masonite to create raised patterns. Simply cut the design you want, glue it to the box, then lay the vinyl over it. Use a heat gun to form the vinyl to the design. Try to keep the foam thickness at .25" or less. For embossed patterns you can cut them into the wood with a router or use a thin sheet of masonite with the logo cut out laid over the box . Again, .25" or less otherwise you're gonna have headaches. Trial and lots of error will eventually net you good results. When laying vinyl over a raised logo that has a letter like "O" or something with a closed center ( P,R,D,B,Q,0,9,8,6)it's best to lay the vinyl over it first, use heat to form the vinyl into the depression and work outward from there. You don't want an air bubble in the middle because you'll never get the vinyl to stick down into the depression. [/QUOTE]
