Card Embossing
This is a process of personalizing plastic cards using punches and dies to create raised characters on cards. Embossing has a higher perceived quality and durability. Laminated cards are preferred when embossed as credit cards, whereas the direct mail market may prefer the economies of surface printed, UV coated plastic cards for high runs. Two sizes of characters are available- OCR and A/N. The embossing can then be tipped with a variety of colors. Embossing can only be done along the horizontal axis of the card. Along with front embossing CARDSource has the capability to print rear indent numbers for credit cards.
