Embossing (manufacturing)

Sheet metal embossing is a metalworking process for producing raised or sunken designs or relief in sheet metal. In contrast to coining (which uses unmatched dies), embossing uses matched male and female dies[1] to achieve the pattern, either by stamping, or by passing a sheet or strip of metal between patterned rollers.[2] It is often combined with foil stamping to create a shiny, 3D effect.
