An embosser is a device used to create a raised design on paper, cardstock, metal, or other materials. This three-dimensional effect is achieved by pressing the material between two dies a raised die and a recessed die under pressure. The process permanently alters the surface, leaving a tactile and visual impression. A common example includes adding a company logo to stationery for a professional touch.
The application of raised designs can add a sense of prestige and sophistication to various items. Historically, this technique was employed to authenticate documents and seals. Today, it enhances branding efforts, adds security features, and creates visually appealing decorations on invitations, certificates, and packaging. The durability of the raised impression also offers a lasting impact.
