Etymology
The term 'embossing' derives from the prefix 'em-', meaning 'to cause to be' or 'to put in', and 'boss', which comes from the Old French word 'bosse', meaning 'bump' or 'protuberance'. The use of embossing dates back to ancient civilizations where decorative techniques were employed in various materials like metal and leather. Over the centuries, this skill evolved, with notable use in the printing industry during the 19th century, where advancements in equipment allowed for more intricate designs. Today, embossing remains a popular technique in both graphics design and product packaging, often associated with high-quality and premium goods.
