Embossing
This process is similar to die stamping but without ink. The image is engraved into the surface of the die. When the paper or card is pushed into the die the resulting image is raised above the material, i.e., embossed.
Embossing dies can be etched, to give a single depth image, or engraved in multilevels for extra special effects. Multi level dies are sometimes referred to as sculptured dies.
