Manufacturing
I am currently working on a short translation on behalf of a manufacturer of banding / adhesive tapes / labels, and am struggling to find an appropriate translation for the term "stansen".
"Punching" or "perforation", as suggested by my Kluwer dictionary, seems a little contrived.
The context is as follows:
"Tot de mogelijkheden behoren:
"bedrukking binnenzijde band en contourstansen"
"vellen drukken en stansen"
"gedetailleerde fantasiestansingen"
"We spreken van een etiket als het materiaal gestanst is, door het stansen krijgt het etiket haar vorm."
All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded within 72 hours.
Many thanks,
Anne

emboss
If a pattern is punched into the tape or label (contourstansen), this is referred to as embossing. See here, for example:

: Would certainly work for labels that are cut to shape, but not for a design stamped into label or tape.
