embossing
Mechanical production of a raised pattern on a surface: suitable materials are plastic, paper, leather, fabric, etc. A male die is machined such that the pattern is raised, and a female die so that the mirror image of the pattern is engraved into it. When the two dies are forced together the pattern is embossed on the material between.
