- What is the Long Reach Heavy Duty Embosser?
The Long Reach Heavy Duty Embosser is a premium custom embossing press that creates an embossed impression on paper and card. It’s designed for deeper placement from the edge thanks to its long reach (100 mm), making it ideal for books, envelopes, certificates, packaging, and more.
- What size is the embossing impression?
It creates a 47 mm diameter embossed impression — large enough for clear logos, monograms, or text designs.
- What materials and paper weights can it emboss?
This embosser handles heavier stock papers, typically 160–360 gsm, making it suitable for thick cards, custom stationery, hardcover pages, and premium packaging applications.
- What does “long reach” mean?
“Long reach” refers to the embosser’s ability to place your design up to 100 mm from the edge of the material, allowing you to emboss deeper inside books, folders, or larger sheets — beyond what a standard embosser can reach.
- Can I customise the orientation of my logo or text?
Yes — you can choose whether your design is applied from the top, bottom, left or right of the embosser’s impression. If no orientation is selected, the default is bottom-aligned.
- What design limitations should I be aware of?
For best quality:
- Use a minimum font size of 9pt
- Keep your text/design to a sensible length (recommended maximum ~44 characters)
- Is this embosser suitable for business branding?
Absolutely — it's robust press and clear, laser-engraved detail make it ideal for adding a professional branding touch to:
- Logo seals for products and packaging
- Custom stationery and business stationery
- Certificates, invoices, and documents
- Personalised gifts and craft projects
- Does the embosser require ink?
No — embossers work by mechanically pressing the design into the material to create a raised (embossed) effect, so no ink or pads are needed.
- Can I get replacement or additional inserts?
Yes — replacement embossing inserts (41 mm) are available so you can swap designs later without replacing the entire embosser.
- What if my design doesn’t emboss clearly?
Common causes of unclear embossing include:
- Paper that’s too thin or too lightweight
- Very fine text or overly detailed elements below the recommended size
- Incorrect orientation selected during ordering
