Embossing
Lincrusta wall cladding embossed in a Byzantine pattern
Embossing represents the partial depth of a flat workpiece between a punch and a counter tool. The tool does not penetrate everywhere into the workpiece, and the counter tool has a negative shape of the embossing punch. This creates a bump on the back. Embossing can only be used for thin and soft workpieces. Typical application examples are the production of embossed paper, coffered ceilings or wall cladding made of sheet metal, Lincrusta or even leather, license plates or beads to stiffen pipes.
