Embossing and tipping

Embossing has been the only possible way to apply machine-readable characters to a card for a long time. The single characters are “stamped” into the back side of the card, thus they are visible on the front side as heightened characters.

Nowadays embossing had to give way to more effective methods of machine-readable data – such as Magnetic card or bar code Embossing remains to be a high quality way of personalising a plastic card, however. The embossed characters can be dyed in metallic colours if requested, thus giving the card an even higher value. Due to its international character, certain restrictions apply to embossing: only capital letters, the fonts Gothic and OCR and a font size of 5 mm can be embossed. It is not possible, however, to emboss special characters and umlauts.
