Notary seals, Corporate seals, embossing seals are usually made by forming a
mold. This limits what can be produced to simple text, basic objects, and
not much more. However, with laser engravers and the right material you can
virtually place any object you desire on a seal -- from photographs to text
to logos. And our laser engravers simply provide the best detail and quality
available.
Seals can
be easily manufactured on a laser engraver using 1/16" thick Delrin plastic.
A seal consists of two pieces - a male die and a female die - both shown
above. The male die consists of white lettering on a black background and
the female die is an inverted and mirrored image of the male. Inverting and
mirroring are easily accomplished in most graphics software packages. Simply
duplicate the male die, invert the black and white colors, and mirror the
image.
The
male image should be produced without the use of outline around text or
graphics. Add a .007 inch to .010 inch outline to the text and graphics of
the female die. This outline creates a large enough void between the male
and female dies to emboss paper without tearing. Apply a .001 inch outline
around the seal to define the outside edge of the seal. Use the combined
engraving/vector mode to first engrave the seal, then to cut out the seal. |
