Frequently asked questions

How do I personalise this design?

Simply choose the design you like, then add your first name, your initials or a word of your choice. Your text will be elegantly worked into the composition before being engraved in our Paris workshop.

What is the difference between the two embossers?

  • The deluxe embosser is heavier, more stable and more elegant — ideal for use at home or as a fine gift.

  • The portable embosser is lighter and more compact — perfect for use on the move or as a gift.

Which orientation should I choose?

You have a choice of 4 orientations:

  • From the bottom: ideal for embossing the bottom of a card or envelope
  • From the top: perfect for letterheads
  • From the right: recommended for the inside of a book (right-hand page)
  • From the left: for left-hand pages or according to your preference (uncommon)

How long does creation take?

  • Engraving and assembly: within 7 to 10 working days
  • Shipping: 5 to 6 days within mainland France, from our workshop

What can I use my embosser on?

It works perfectly on paper between 80 and 250 gsm: book pages, letters, envelopes, menus and so on.

For a clean emboss, avoid paper that is very rigid or heavily textured above 250 gsm.
