Plastic Cards with Embossing

Use: We can emboss words and / or numbers (just like a credit card) for a professional image.

Positioning: Embossing is positioned on one side, in the bottom half. 

Size: Two sizes are available, 5mm and 3mm. This is the height of the characters

Maximum number of characters: For the 5mm this is 22 characters on one line & for the 3mm this is 27 characters on one line (including spaces)

Embossed numbering / variable data: You can either specify a start number, for example: sequential numbering from 5001 onwards or you can supply an Excel document containing the information we are to emboss. Our guide to personalised plastic cards compares embossed names with printed ones and with names added later.

Colour: The colour of the embossing can be black, metallic silver or metallic gold.

Not available on: EcoTough cards, Plastic-Free Board cards, RFID cards, key fob cards, combo cards or 420 micron cards.

Top tip: Be careful with regard to the positioning of the embossing as the printing on the back of the card will be distorted by the embossing. To see embossing laid out with a magnetic strip and a signature strip, read our guide to credit card style plastic cards.
