Wax Seal and Embosser impressions are only created with the effort of the user. Like tiny printing presses, each impression is unique and carries a distinct hand-made feel. Preference of foil, paper or wax color brings the user further into the creative process. Custom-made Embossers and Wax Seals from CustomEmbosserPro.com come to life in your hands.

Unlike pushing a button on a screen and printing or e-mailing a document, creating the personalized accent of a wax seal or impression from an embosser is a hands-on, manual process. Making impressions on paper or hot wax is fun! When you first open your embosser, don’t be surprised if you go through a lot of scrap paper for the sheer enjoyment of pushing the handle down and making impressions. Will it emboss on tin foil? On parchment? A brown paper lunch bag? You get to find out. Bathroom tissue and napkins take embossed impressions very well. However, care must be taken not to press too hard on embossers, as this can break the counter die and ruin subsequent impressions. Also, if your embosser was made for regular paper, trying to emboss on cardboard will likely damage ...
... the embosser.

Like anything, making impressions takes practice. You’ll use too much wax, too little, press too hard or too lightly, but after a while you get a feel for what works. Wax seals are especially favorable for one-of-a-kind impressions, as no two pools of hot wax are alike. If you like the look of dripping wax, set up your paper at an angle so the wax runs down a ways before drying. If using wax applied with a glue gun, it is important to use the low-temperature setting because the wax will not cool fast enough to make a clean impression. Use of a cooling disk helps when making many wax seal impressions, as hot wax will heat up the die with repeated use. You may also use a cooling disk to make wax seals without having to put the impression on paper; simply apply the wax to the disk, press in the seal and let cool, then release. To apply the seal to your finished product, use a small dab of wax or glue.

Embossing on our metallic foils makes a satisfying ‘pop’ sound, and taking the impressed foil seal out of the unit is like minting your own personalized coin. Run your finger across the raised impression, marvel at the detail in the seal that YOU just created. After your wax impression cools, smell the aroma of the seal and be transported momentarily to another place in time, when that was the only way to enclose a letter. Making impressions is a fine way for anyone to be creative and make something unique and beautiful.
