Embossing is a printing technique that involves pressing an image or design into a surface so that it appears raised or elevated. It is the opposite of debossing, which involves pressing an image or design into a surface so that it appears indented or recessed.

     Embossing is commonly used in the printing and packaging industries to add texture and dimension to products. It is often used on book covers, business cards, and packaging materials to create a more tactile and visually appealing finish.

     There are several types of embossing, including relief embossing, blind embossing, and foil embossing. Relief embossing involves creating a raised image or design on the surface of the material. Blind embossing involves creating a raised image or design on the surface of the material without the use of color or ink. Foil embossing involves applying a metallic or colored foil to the surface and embossing the design into the foil.

     Embossing is a popular choice for creating high-quality, visually appealing products, as it adds depth and texture to the design without the need for additional materials or processes.
