Embossed Logos

Embossing adds vital, three-dimensional appeal to even a simple one-color nameplate and can be combined with virtually any nameplate we manufacture.

Attractive to the touch and interesting to the eye, embossing gives the designer the opportunity to make logo elements literally pop off the product.

Round Emboss

FACTS ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Can be used for aluminum (.005"-.008" thick)

Can be used for polyester or polycarbonate
(.005"-.020" thick)		 Tooling is very affordable (generally under $250)

Less expensive to make design changes when a tooling change is required		 Embossed edges on thicker aluminum nameplates are rounded so images appear less crisp than with a square emboss or electragraphic plating

Tool life is limited to approximately 5,000 impressions

FACTS ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

Modifying tools is more expensive

Tooling lead times are longer
