I haven't worked with embossing business card information on label stock, but I 
do emboss cassette labels, which is also a very precise undertaking with no 
room for error.  I have found that making a test label with the exact number of 
cells and lines helps.  You can use this test label to line up your embosser 
exactly where it needs to be.  Please don't hesitate to ask  any questions you 
may have regarding the embossing of labels, I've done a lot of it and will be 
happy to help if I can.

Andre, I am running into a very similar situation.  I found labels that fit 
nicely on business cards and that have tractor-feed sprockets on each side. 
These labels are available from IRTI in the US.  However, I have not 
attempted to emboss on these labels yet for a couple of reasons.  First, in 
order to get as much information as possible onto each label you need to 
make sure that your margins are absolutely precise.  I accomplished this 
using a standard slate and stylus.  Using this method, I was able to get 5 
lines of braille on each label with 11 characters at most on each line.  I 
found that this is such a precise thing that I haven't been comfortable 
attempting it with my embosser yet.  I would love to hear from others who 
have been through this all ready though.  Good luck.
