Whether you’re branding your small business, preparing wedding invitations, marking a book, or adding a professional seal to official documents, a personalised embosser creates a lasting impression — without ink, mess or fuss.
What Is a Handheld Embosser?
A handheld embosser is a compact tool that presses your design — logo, text or monogram — into paper or card, leaving a raised, textured impression. It doesn’t use ink; the impression is created by pressure alone.
Each embosser is precision-made to ensure your design comes out sharp and professional every time.

FAQs About Custom Embossers
How does a logo embosser work?
You place the paper between the embosser plates and squeeze the handles (or press down if it’s a desk model). This creates a clean, professional raised impression of your design.
What materials can be embossed?
Our handheld Custom logo embosser works best on paper, card, envelopes, book pages, and light stock up to 120–200gsm. They are not designed for thick materials like cardboard or plastic.
Can I upload my own logo or artwork?
Yes — you can upload your own logo, monogram, or design file. We accept images or vector files (JPG, PDF, PNG, SVG, EPS, AI) for the best engraving results.
Will I see a proof before my embosser is made?
A digital proof can be requested. Please leave the wording "digital proof" in the notes to seller box during checkout. A digital proof will be sent to you before manufacturing starts to ensure you are happy with the sizing.
How long does it take to receive my custom embosser?
Production time is 1–2 business days.
Shipping depends on your location and will be automatically calculated during checkout.
What sizes and orientations can I choose?
Embossers come in multiple sizes and shapes (35mm, 40mm, 47mm x 22mm) and can be aligned from the top, bottom, left, or right of the page — perfect for envelopes, letterheads, or books. Please select your preferences in the dropdown menu's above.
Do I need extra accessories or ink?
No! Unlike traditional stamps, embossers don’t require ink pads, foil, or inkers — the impression is created purely by pressure on the paper.
