A mark that stands out

Embossing stamps create a raised, tactile impression on paper, giving your stationery, invitations and business documents a finish that feels as good as it looks. Whether you're planning a wedding or marking official certificates, an embossing stamp adds an air of authenticity that flat printing simply can't replicate. The raised design catches the light and tells recipients that real care has gone into every piece you send.

Built for desk and on-the-go use

The stamp features a dual die plate system — one raised plate and one recessed — that work together to press a crisp, clean impression into the paper. It's completely ink-free, so there's no mess to deal with. The ergonomic grip makes it comfortable to use whether you're at your desk or on-site at an event. The circular die measures 4.1" in diameter and is compatible with paper stocks between 80 and 160 gsm. A protective carrying bag is also included to keep the stamp safe between uses.

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.
