Emboss Press Molds: Designs and Physical Impressions Tailored to Your Card

Card embossing is a physical impression made on parts of a card or package using a mold and press. Its shape and position depend on the mold design, materials and packaging structure. When the mold and application method suit the package, the impression can help reveal signs of opening or tampering alongside other features.

Supply options

Supply the mold around the project’s execution method.

In either option, compatibility with the press and packaging structure is reviewed.

01

Mold supplied separately

The mold can be purchased separately. Selection is based on project requirements, card structure and compatibility with press equipment.

02

Mold supplied with press equipment

The mold can be supplied with a manual press or heat embossing press so the mold, equipment and application method are coordinated with the card and packaging structure.

Compatible equipment

Choose the mold and press together.

A press applies pressure and, in thermal applications, the heat required for packaging. An emboss mold creates the intended pattern or shape on a specified part of the card or package during pressing. The press, mold and packaging materials should be compatible. Each is selected according to the product, card structure and project workflow.

Manual press compatible with emboss press molds

Manual press

Where manual operation suits the project, mold selection considers press equipment and the operator workflow.

Heat embossing press compatible with emboss press molds

Heat embossing press

For heat-generated impressions or thermal bonding, compatibility with packaging materials and card structure is evaluated.
