An embosser can create a raised impression on paper. Ideal to use on books, envelopes, letterheads, and cards. 

Embosser Orientation - Emboss from bottom or top?

"Emboss from bottom" is the most common orientation.  It is suitable for leaving impressions on the flap of an envelope or from the bottom of a page near a signature.

"Emboss from top" is used to create impressions at the top of a page. This type of orientation is great for leaving impressions at the top of letterheads and stationery or putting a seal with your address at the top of any important document.
