Embossing is the marking process used by the US armed forces and is used
by us on our Military Dog Tags. The effect of embossing is raised text
from the surface and is therefore done on one side only. An embossing
machine consists of a drum of male-female letters, numbers and special
characters. An image is formed in the metal when the male-female dies come
together. This process is also referred to as metal stamping. Embossing is
the most durable of all marking methods since the letters are formed out
of the metal. It's also the most limited in that text, numbers and some
special characters can be used.
