Embossing is the process of creating a raised image by applying pressure to the substrate. For example, many official seals are embossed. And, you’ve likely seen embossing on greeting cards as well as high end wedding invitations. But did you realize the numbers on a credit card are another type of embossing? That’s right! Embossing can be applied to plastic as well. Embossing can be used for sample or faux credit cards, reward cards, plastic folders and a variety of other plastic applications. This application of embossing lends authenticity and eye-catching intrigue to the material at hand.
