Embossed plastic tokens are the most common type of plastic token. They are available in virtually any colour. Your logo, text, number or other design is embossed directly into the surface of the token to create a durable, custom-made plastic token that is easy to recognise.
They are an economical choice for applications where large quantities are required or where the tokens will be heavily used and therefore subject to significant wear and tear. Embossed plastic tokens are commonly used as drink tokens, food tokens, event tokens, amusement tokens, promotional tokens and payment tokens.
But what is embossing?
Embossing is a technique used to create raised or recessed designs on plastic tokens. This means that the logo, text or design becomes part of the token itself, rather than being printed onto it.
As the design is formed directly in the plastic, a durable relief is created that remains visible even after intensive use.
Embossed or printed plastic tokens?
Embossing is ideal if you want a simple and durable design incorporated directly into your token’s material. Embossed logos, text and other elements are the same colour as the token and are created in raised or recessed relief.
One of the main advantages of embossing is its resistance to wear. Since there is no printed layer on the surface, the design cannot simply wear or rub off during intensive use.
However, if your design requires contrasting colours, fine details or full-colour artwork, a printed plastic token may be more suitable. A variety of printing and finishing techniques can be used depending on the desired appearance and application.
Custom embossed plastic tokens
Customise your embossed plastic tokens with your own logo, name, text, number, value or simple graphic. Both sides of the token can be personalised, allowing you to combine your branding with practical information.
As the design is formed directly in the plastic, embossed tokens are particularly suitable for repeated use. This makes them a practical option for festivals, events, amusement venues and other applications where tokens are regularly collected and reused.
Plastic tokens are available in any colour
One of the main advantages of plastic tokens is the wide range of colours available. You can choose a colour that matches your company, event or branding, or use different colours to distinguish between different values, products or applications.
For example, different colours can represent different drink values, food items, activities, access levels or product categories. This makes plastic tokens easy for both customers and staff to recognise and sort.
Plastic of metal tokens?
Embossed plastic tokens are a lightweight and economical solution, particularly when large quantities or different colours are required. For applications where a more premium appearance, greater weight or the feel of a traditional coin is preferred, custom metal tokens are an excellent alternative.
Metal tokens also offer more possibilities in terms of detailed relief, materials and finishes. Thanks to their precisely controlled dimensions and material properties, they are particularly suitable for applications involving mechanical or electronic coin validators. Both plastic and metal tokens can be customised to match your branding and intended use.
Where are ebossed plastic tokens used?
Custom embossed plastic tokens can be used for many different applications, including:
- Drink tokens for festivals, bars and events
- Food tokens
- Event tokens for closed payment systems
- Amusement and arcade tokens
- Promotional tokens featuring a company logo

Thanks to their low weight, durability and economical production, embossed plastic tokens are particularly attractive when large quantities of customised tokens are required.
