An embossing stamp is a mini hand operated press that uses a male and female die in order to create an embossed effect on paper or any thin material. One can even use plastic films and aluminum foils in the embossing stamping machine. Such embossers are widely used in legal documentation, as corporate seals, as notary seal embossers to authenticate a notarized document and one may even use it for personal purposes. Engineers can use embossing stamps and architects can use such embossers to add a touch of class and authenticity to their documents. It may even be necessary depending on local regulations and the type of document. The embossing stamp machine Embossing stamp machines are available in different sizes and types to suit specific purposes. For instance, a notary or a business executive who travels may find that a pocket embosser is sufficient for his purpose. However, such small size embossers may have limited throat depth and force to handle paper up to only 80 gsm. This is the normal thickness of papers usually used for documents and in offices. Step up and you have a desktop embossing stamp. There are variations in models and what you will be looking at is the throat depth and the force it can apply. There are smaller models with a depth of 60 mm and larger embossing stamps capable of handling 250 gsm paper and a throat depth of up to 130 mm, which is sufficient for office stationery as well as for special purpose use such as cards, labels and tags. Quality and performance depend on the rigidity of the structure. You may get cheaper ones made of light grade steel but the better ones are made of cast material or thick steel sheets that will not deform under pressure. How much pressure you need to apply in order to get a perfectly embossed seal is dependent on the thickness of paper or card. How easy it is to apply that pressure depends on the length of the lever. The longer the lever is, the easier it is since length multiplies force.
The all important die used in the embossing stamp The machine has space in its jaws to insert seal text plate. There is a male plate in which the letters are raised and a female plate in which the letters are etched in. It cannot be a tight fit. The manufacturer needs to make allowances for thickness of the material to be embossed so that it fits in the gap perfectly and creates the right, embossed look. Buy a quality embossing stamping machine by all means but also make sure the all important seal text plate or die plates are manufactured using the right hardened steel material and to tight tolerances if you want the embossed paper or plastic sheet to look perfect. Buy an embossing stamp machine from Addprint that has holes in which prongs of the seal plate can be aligned instead of a machine in which the plate is fixed permanently.
