Whether you're sealing wedding invitations, finishing thank-you notes or giving business certificates a professional edge, embossing stamps help your materials stand out.

Frequently asked questions

An embossing stamp is a small tool that lets you press a raised design or seal into paper. People often use them to add a special touch to invitations, letters or books. They’re also used in business settings to make documents official or to mark certificates.

Our embossing stamps use custom-made die plates, which consist of one raised plate and one recessed plate. When you press them together with paper in between, you create a crisp, raised impression — no ink is needed. This is an easy way to add texture and style to your projects. Please note that the plates are designed for perfect alignment, so you don’t need to apply a strong grip.

Embossing gives you a raised design by pressing the paper, while stamping usually uses ink to leave a flat image. Embossing adds a tactile, premium feel and works best on porous paper, like cotton, where the raised impression stands out most.

Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
