The Boldest markings are made from an Embossing marking process rather than a standard marking process. The Embossing technique requires dies on both sides of the workpiece. This technique is designed for use on sheet metal parts.

The Die Shoe holds the male and female dies in the precise location required to make sure that they are properly lined up during the marking process.

The male and female dies must be perfectly lined up to create the bold mark. A die shoe uses alignment pins to keep the dies positioned accurately.

The embossing process will provide the boldest mark, but the cost is also much more than regular marking.
