Made with our free paper embosser maker, not modelled by hand: we typed Handmade by / Your Name into its text box, picked the Bold Elegant font and a 64 by 40 mm plate, and left everything else at the page's defaults. It prints as ONE part: the male die with the raised design and the female die with the matching cavity, joined by a print-in-place hinge, flat and open on the bed with no supports. Fold it shut over a card and squeeze. The design is 50 by 15 mm with a 1 mm relief. The zip holds exactly what the tool gives you, as an STL and as a 3MF with the relief as its own coloured part.

Shown as a 3D render of the printed embosser and a card embossed with its mark, not a photo.

What you need

2
  • Card or paper of 160 to 300 gsm: cardstock, kraft tags, envelopes or letter paper
  • About 13 g of PLA or PETG

How to use it

5

  1. Print it as exported, flat and open like a book, no supports.

  2. Once it has cooled, fold the hinge shut and open a few times to free the pin.

  3. Slide the card between the plates as far as the spot you want to emboss.

  4. Close the embosser and squeeze firmly for a second, then open it and slide the card out.

  5. For a mark that stands out, rub a little white or gold ink over the raised side.

Questions about this design

How do I change the name on the handmade by embosser?

Open the free embosser maker, type Handmade by on the first line and your name on the second, choose Bold Elegant and a 64 by 40 mm plate. That is exactly how this one was made; the settings are in the zip.

Does the handmade by embosser work on kraft tags?

Yes, kraft card of 250 to 350 gsm takes a clear mark. The plain brown shows the relief through light and shadow only, so emboss near a window or add a touch of white ink on the raised letters to make it pop.

How long does the handmade by embosser take to print?

About 25 minutes and 13 g of PLA on a current printer at 0.2 mm layers, as one print-in-place part. The time is estimated from the files, not sliced; at 0.12 mm layers for the crispest design it takes about half as long again.
