I do some work for a printer who does die cutting and embossing... I
think the dies for embossing ( you need a positive and a negative) are kind
of expensive, maybe in the $200 range for a detailed set.. The printer I
do the work for farms the making of the dies out. Once the dies are made
though you own them and all you would need to do is rig some sort of press
to emboss your logo, or in the printers case , he would charge per
impression and possibly a set up fee.. .
You might try asking the people who make notary public stamps or
something along those lines for a small imprinter , but to go any larger you
would probably need some sort of press with a little guts....
I particularly like the effect myself. It is very classy. Good
luck..JC
