      Choose a seal with a color that is complementary to the binding of your book. Place the seal sticker into the embossing press.

      Depress the handle of the embossing press in a slow and steady motion. Maintaining even pressure and speed while embossing ensures a properly indented seal. Release the handle slowly.
