When ordering a personal plastic card with embossing, the following features should be taken into account:
- According to generally accepted standards, 2 types of fonts are used - large with symbols of 4.3x2.5 mm and small with 3x2.5 mm. Large font squeezes out only numbers that can be read both visually and electronically, and small font - numbers and letters of the Latin alphabet.
- It is possible to cover the embossed signs with foil with a gold or silver tint, as well as black, white or other colors. All this allows you to add status to the card and, if necessary, follow the design.
- Embossing is a very time consuming process and takes a long period of time. Therefore, the issue of embossed cards takes longer than non-embossed ones (with printed symbols).
