About Embossers and Embossing Equipment
Embossers and embossing equipment create a three-dimensional image or design on paper, film, foil, or other ductile materials. Typically, embossing is accomplished with a combination of heat and pressure. Continuously-fed embossers and embossing equipment feed material between a flat roll and a roll with a patterned surface. As pressure is applied, the material conforms to the pattern. Hand-fed embossing units require an operator to manually feed a sheet into a press with a patterned surface. Often, manual embossers and embossing equipment are used to affix a notary seal or other evidentiary seal to the sheet. Embossers and embossing equipment for paper film, plastic film, and metal foil are also available.
