Embodiments include package substrates and method of forming the package substrates. A package substrate includes a dielectric over a conductive layer, and a conductive line on the dielectric. The package substrate includes a plurality of conductive bumps on a surface of the conductive line, where the conductive bumps are conductively coupled to the conductive line, and a solder resist over the conductive line and the dielectric. The surface of the conductive line may be a bottom surface, where the conductive bumps are below the conductive line and conductively coupled to the bottom surface of the conductive line, and where the conductive bumps may be embedded in the dielectric. The surface of the conductive line may be a top surface, where the conductive bumps are above the conductive line and conductively coupled to the top surface of the conductive line, and wherein the conductive bumps are embedded in the solder resist.
