6 From which edge of the page do you want to emboss? ?
optional
The book embosser grips the page from this edge and reaches up to 6 cm in. We engrave your design this way round so the impression reads upright.
With the book open in front of you, the book embosser enters the page from this edge, usually the endpaper (the first page, often blank). Leave “Bottom” if unsure; change it only if you want the mark elsewhere.
Default, you can change it: Bottom of the page
7 Which design should we engrave? ?
A black line on a white background, with no gradient or grey: the black stands out in relief. The design fits in a circle of about 4 cm; a line thinner than 0.3 mm disappears.

9 Would you also like gold stickers to emboss? ?
Round gold stickers, 4.5 cm across, in a pack of 100. The same book embosser embosses them.
Most books (novels) do not need them. For glossy paper (shiny, like a magazine), which holds the relief poorly: you emboss the sticker, then stick it in the book.
Default, you can change it: None
None The book embosser alone: the impression goes into the book’s paper.
100 gold stickers + €10.00 The book embosser and 100 round gold stickers, 4.5 cm across, so €0.10 each.
