Use Control Center to manage embossing configurations, such as the embossing schedule and the programs associated with specific configurations. Embossing is the process of adding raised or recessed details—like names, card numbers, and expiration dates—to a card for personalization and branding. It enhances both the card’s functionality and visual appeal. For more information, refer to Physical card embossing.
