Our embossed numbering is offered in both 13.5pt and 18pt. Embossed numbering is the process of pressing up numbering into the plastic cards, like the raised numbering on a credit card. This does create an indentation on the opposite side of the card.
Embossed numbering can be tipped in gold or silver foil. This is the process of adding foil to the raised surface of the numbering. We print our other foil colors on the card, but that option does need to be custom quoted. Doing so makes the numbers stand out, as well as gives it a more clean appearance, as pressing up the numbers into the plastic does stretch out any print that is in those specific areas.
- The embossed numbering can only be printed in a horizontal direction, and only on standard sized plastic (3.375” x 2.125”).
- Must be spaced at least 5 mm away from the edges of the card.
- Embossing is done in a generic font.
- Large spot UV areas must be knocked out, so it does not overlap the embossing.
