What will be the desired profile of the embossed areas?
There are a variety of industry standard embossing profiles from which to choose. Engraving companies publish charts for their customers that list the most popular embossing profiles along with samples of each. Raised round, raised flat and raised roof are some typical profiles. They can be used in single-level and mult-level combinations of embossing and debossing. Some embossing is sculpted to show fine details like fur or the veins of a leaf. Embossing customers should be ready to specify what embossing profiles they desire.
