Each of our embosser orders is built to meet your exact specifications so before you place your personalized order there are some important options to choose from. We’ve put together this guide of frequently asked embosser ordering questions to help you learn everything you need to know about the custom embosser ordering process.
An embosser is a tool used to create colorless raised impressions. Unlike a stamp that uses ink or dye to leave a visual mark, embossers use two plates to leave visual and tactile impressions. Our Simply Stamps embossers use high-quality Delrin plastic plates to leave a crisp and clear impression every time!
Embossers are an incredibly versatile tool for both personal and professional use! Here are some of the ways that you can use a custom embosser:
Embosser orientation refers to the direction of the seal impression . At Simply Stamps, all of our embossers have an “emboss from” option. To pick the correct embosser orientation for you, it’s important to think about how you’ll be using your custom embosser. Here are the four types of embosser orientation and their intended uses:
Make sure to keep in mind the intended use of your embosser before you decide which orientation to choose! Embossers should only be used according to their particular orientation to ensure that the seal imprint looks correct and is facing the right direction.
Embosser reach refers to how far inwards on a page an embosser creates an imprint. The standard reach of the embosser models at Simply Stamps is up to 1” from the edge of a sheet of paper. If you’d like to leave impressions that are further inwards on a page, some of our 2” large seal embosser options are also available as long-reach embossers.
To avoid any tears or shallow imprints, you have to ensure that you are embossing on the correct paper weight. Our standard embosser models are made to create crisp impressions on 20 lb. standard paper .
“Embosser size” refers to the size of the seal impression, not the size of the actual embosser model. At Simply Stamps, we offer two different embosser size options. The standard embosser size at Simply Stamps is 1.625”. This type of embosser leaves an imprint that is approximately 1.625”. If you’d like to make a bigger impression, most of our embossers are also available in a 2” size!
At Simply Stamps our embossers are currently sold as a single unit. Not all inserts fit into our newer/older models and different embosser styles. To avoid any sizing issues, we currently do not sell individual embosser inserts .
When you order a custom embosser from Simply Stamps, you will receive everything you need to get started, all you need to do is provide your own 20 lb. standard paper or stationery and start creating impressions! If you’d like to take your seals to the next level, Simply Stamps has two additional add-ons available:
