<p>I went to a spa the other day and purchased a gift card.  The gift card came in an small envelope that had a seal on the back.  The seal felt like it was made out of plastic and had a Chinese character on it.  The lines of the Chinese character was textured so that it extended above the rest of the seal.  </p>

<p>The seal was not made out of wax and it was a sticker.  What do you call this kind of seal?</p>

There are many companies that offer customized embosser plates, usually those that also offer stamps or stationary. Search for "personalized embosser" or similar.

Do you by chance have a picture that can go along with this? I understand  if that is not possible. I removed the website request as that those kinds of recommendations are off topic for our site. However once you get the name of what you are looking for that should make the search for what you are looking for easier.
