unembossed
Lacking raised design
Unembossed describes a surface that lacks raised lettering, patterns, or designs—flat where embossing might otherwise appear.
The term comes up with paper, leather, credit cards, and official documents: The unembossed card arrived as a temporary replacement.
It can also describe text or images printed flush rather than raised.
