German term or phrase: Ziselierung
I'm translating descriptions of promotional products for a trade magazine. This particular description is related to towelling products that can be customized for promotional purposes.

"Ziselierungen, Drucke, die auch fotorealistisch sein können, oder aufwändige Stickereien als besonders augenscheinliche Individualisierungen machen aus den Produkten individuelle Werbeträger."

The dictionaries all translate "Ziselierung" as "chasing", but that seems to refer to metal work, not textiles. Does anyone know what it means in this context? Could it be some kind of relief effect?

TIA.
