Embossing and Debossing Tools

Embossing Tools Description
Embossing tools consist of a “male punch” and “female die” (See figure 1).The material to be embossed is placed in between the punch and die and pressed between the two.

The resulting impression is raised up, i.e. proud of the surface. This process can be applied to any sheet material that can be plastically deformed. (See figure 2)

Debossing Tools Description
Debossing tools consist of a punch and die, but cut the reverse of embossing tools. The image is sunk “Pressed down” into the material so the image is depressed. The process is performed on the same types of sheet materials as embossing.

Intaglio Embossing Description
This process combines the above two process. The background around the marked impressions is sunk (debossed) leaving the impressions themselves raised (embossed).

Companies use these processes to successfully mark their corporate logos etc on their products, the process is virtually indelible. (See figure 3)
