Embossing Seals
What is an Embossing Seal?
An embossing seal consists of a press and a pair of jaws. The jaws contain a die and counter which make an embossed impression. They are usually circular but sometimes rectangular and can be used to permanently authenticate documents and more.
Types of Embossing Seals
Embossingseals.net can supply seals from all sorts of categories for different applications. To view the differences between these categories please click the links to the left. Descriptions, dimensions, and images, along with some design suggestions are included in these categories as well.
Using Your Embossing Seal
Desk Models:
To unlock make sure the seal is on a flat surface and firmly press down on the handle. Slide the silver buttons on the side over and the seal will become unlocked. Slide the desired medium into the jaws of the seal and press firmly down on the handle. Release and remove the medium to see your embossed impression. Make sure to practice a few times before using your seal on any important documents. Push the handle back down and slide the silver buttons back in order to lock it again.
Handheld Models:
To unlock slide the button on the top of the seal backwards and loosen your grip. Slide the desired medium into the jaws of the seal and press firmly down on the handle. Release and remove the medium to see your embossed impression. Make sure to practice a few times before using your seal on any important documents. Squeeze the handle back down and slide the button on the top forwards to lock it again.
Submitting Artwork to Embossingseals.net
If you wish to use your own custom design for your embossing seal please consider the following:
Artwork can be submitted as an attachment through the email address on our Contact Us Page.
Remember that a seal is small, with a max diameter of 2 inches, so a simple design will yield the best results.
Artwork MUST be black and white only (that means 100% contrast with no gradients). Embossingseals.net can convert color artowrk for a fee if necessary.
For best quality a vector format file is most suitable such as an EPS format file or an Illustrator AI vector format file.
If a vector file is not possible and you wish to submit a bitmap format file, such as a JPEG image or a GIF image, please keep in mind that the quality of the seal's impression will look exactly the same as the quality of the original graphic.
Depending on certain situations you may need to be charged a minimum of $20.00 for any complications when dealing with custom artwork. Any artwork charge beyond the $20.00 set-up fee is based on time taken to prepare the artwork for production of the seal.
