Abstract
The sequence of characters provided for an individual license plate is embossed in a license plate blank. The known methods are very time-intensive and inflexible. The invention achieves a method and a device for embossing license plates, in particular motor vehicle license plates, said method and said device being easy to handle and flexible to use. This is achieved in that a handling installation retrieves the embossing die parts required for the respective license plate to be embossed from a magazine and successively places said embossing die parts onto two die holding frames.
