Floral paper embosser

The floral embosser is the most decorative of the set. A wreath of leaves and flowers circles an open book, with "From the treasures of" above and your name below, set with a capital first letter and the rest in small letters. Floral detail looks best on smooth paper, where the fine leaves hold their shape. On rough handmade paper, choose a simpler design.

Dragonfly and Bookworm

Both use a single motif instead of a full border. That leaves more space for the name, which matters if yours is long. Dragonfly reads as elegant and adult. Bookworm, with its stack of books, reads as friendly, which is why it is often bought for children and teachers.

Zodiac Imprint and Celestial Cipher

These are the gift designs. Zodiac Imprint puts the recipient's sun sign in the centre with "From the library of" in an arc and the name in capitals. Celestial Cipher offers three star and moon layouts and can be ordered with 20 gold seal cards included.

Impressa: your own design

No fixed artwork at all. Send a logo, monogram, signature or custom wording and it is cut into the plate. This is the one businesses choose, and the right choice when none of the designs above says quite what you want.

40 mm vs 50 mm

Every design above comes in two sizes.

40 mm 50 mm
Price ₹1,669 ₹2,869
Seal area Standard About 56% larger
Name length Short to medium Long names, two lines
Detail Clean on simple artwork Fine floral and logo detail holds better
Best on Book pages, envelopes, notebooks A4 certificates, letterheads, packaging

Pick 40 mm if the seal goes into books and letters and your name is short. Pick 50 mm if you have a long name, a detailed logo, or the seal goes on large documents where a small mark looks lost.

Add-ons worth considering

Common questions

Can I change the fixed wording on a design?
The fixed phrase is part of those designs. For your own wording, choose Impressa, Bookworm or Celestial Cipher.

Are all designs the same build quality?
Yes. The body and mechanism are the same. Only the plate artwork changes.

How long does it take?
Usually dispatched same day to 2 to 3 days after you approve the design.
