Leather embossing is the process of creating a three-dimensional image or design in leather. It is typically accomplished with a combination of heat and pressure on the lather. This is achieved by using a metal die usually made of brass and a counter die that fit together and actually squeeze the fibers of the leather. This pressure and a combination of heat actually "irons" while raising the level of the image higher than the substrate to make it smooth.
