emboss
This term describes a tactile transformation of a surface, where the primary goal is to create a three-dimensional relief. It is most frequently associated with luxury goods, stationery, and jewelry, evoking a sense of prestige, permanence, and craftsmanship. While similar to engraving, it is the opposite in effect; engraving removes material to create a depression, whereas embossing pushes material outward to create a protrusion.
In professional contexts, the word is used specifically in printing and leatherworking to describe the process of using a die or stamp. The resulting texture is intended to be felt as much as seen, adding a physical dimension to visual branding or artistic decoration.
