Hi Marty:

Embossing sounds like a simple and elegant method.  Technically 
speaking, how do you do this?

Leslie Otterbein
 
I use a simple hand embosser, the kind that would be used to imprint a  
corporate seal. I had mine made about 40 years ago when I was an active  
printmaker, and used it on my etchings. Today, I would recommend you contact a  company 
that makes seals for new corporations, or perhaps a large stationery  concern. 
You'll have to design a logo to be used and have  positive and  negative 
plates made which would fit into the hand embosser. It's then simple to  insert 
your paper and squeeze the embosser to imprint the design.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Marty
