Creating a Raised Look on Metal Signs
Embossing is the process of stamping our metal signs to raise your artwork from a normally flat surface. This creates a more attractive and interesting sign and makes the sign stronger and more rigid. Depending on the artwork, we can emboss our metal signs with two types of tooling to create a soft and/or sharp emboss appearance.
Soft embossing is generally used on larger signs with basic artwork to create a “pillow-like” appearance. Although our standard soft embossing involves one level of raised artwork, we can also create signs with multiple levels of embossing for added impact.
Sharp embossing is typically reserved for smaller nameplates and finer detailed artwork. When stamped, it creates a very crisp or “sharp” edge on the artwork that is raised.
