Craft Introduction
What is embossed number?
Strictly speaking, it is a type of the embossing crafts. The difference is that embossed number only refers to the raised number or letter on the object surface, not including the graphic; while the embossing craft includes all kinds of content forms (graphic also included). Besides, their machines also differ. The embossing number craft is by embossing machine, while the embossing craft is by flatbed UV printer.
Operation Details
1. Adjust the number or letter molds on the embossing machine – for example, if you need to add the incrementing digits from No. 820000008560000 to No. 820000008569999 to 10,000 cards, then you should adjust the digital molds to 820000008560000 on the machine first.
2. Emboss the number or letter – put the printed card at the initial position of the conveyor belt, and the embossing machine will auto press the corresponding number on the plastic card when the card passes through the embossing molds.
3. Molds auto adjustment – every time a card is pressed, the number mold will be automatically changed one, thus forming the sequential embossing numbers.
4. Add foil stamping effect (optional) – if you need your embossed content gold or silver, you can also put the hot stamping paper on the machine. When the card passes through the foil stamping module, the hot stamping paper will be hot stamped on the raised part, that part will become the hot stamping paper color.
Attention Please
- Most embossing machine only supports 19 bits long embossed number, and the embossed content must be horizontal with the longer card side.
- The length of the number or letter should be within 16 bits including the spaces, to avoid that the card get slightly deformed.
- The die cut card can’t be added to the embossing number; unless add it onto the standard card first, then die cut that card into other shapes.
- The embossing number should be away from the data storage part such as the chip, magnetic strip, etc, or the important content part, so as not to corrupt data or content.
- If you want to add foil stamping to the embossing number, don’t choose the card with the frosted finish, because the foil stamping craft doesn’ty works well on the frosted surface.
- If you need the personalized embossing number, you’d better take a order in advance, because its producing time will be longer than the normal one.
