When aluminum or brass is embossed it is squished between two dies, a male and a female, so that the characters, be they letters or numbers end up being raised toward the reader of the tag. The embossed tag looks clean and sharp, with each character having a uniform look. |

When aluminum or brass is stamped, the characters are mashed or stamped into the metal with a male die only. The stamped tag is somewhat harder to read unless filled with black enamel. |
