Are embossers expensive to purchase?

Posted by jackbandy on July 26th, 2012

Purchasing unique items such as wax stamps and embossers can include a fair amount of expense depending on several different factors.  These accessories are almost always custom made applications and as with anything else of a customizable nature there is an expense involved that should be expected.  Most of the companies that offer this type of service require any interested customer to make a financial deposit prior to the item being produced.  This method of ordering serves to protect the company from customers that place false orders or that would otherwise reject paying the final purchase price for a variety of other reasons not associated with the actual craftsmanship or service ability of the product.
The amount of detail that is required from the one placing the order will play a significant role in how much the embossers or wax stamps are going to cost.  The more intricate the detail the higher the purchase price is going to be.  It takes a fair amount of talent to recreate a suitable simulation of a desired emblem or symbol.  Intricate designs can sometimes be difficult to accommodate; however the artist creating the piece will not agree to complete it if the possibility for dissatisfaction exists, normally offering an alternative that incorporates the important features without sacrificing too much in the way of artistic quality.
Purchasing embossers and / or wax stamps will be slightly more expensive than purchasing other types of seals; however the elegance of being associated with a piece known throughout history to represent the wealthy and upper class members of society will be well worth the additional cost.  These historic treasures were once considered elaborate mechanisms used by only the highest members of social hierarchy and they still elicit that type of response in the current modern era.
Customers may want to consider purchasing in bulk, especially if the wax stamps or embossers are to be used by a wide number of employees or associates.  Buying in bulk normally includes a significant discount if the quantities are high enough.  The overall price tag will be somewhat higher; however the cost per unit should be significantly less.  Individual purchases of these types of products aren’t going to be discounted unless there happens to be a sales event taking place at the time of interest, so if you find a company with the designs and styles you want to use to create your own unique identifying symbol you should probably go ahead and place the order.
Prices for wax stamps and embossers will also vary due to the manufacturing company assigned to handle the project.  They all use different methods of creating the finished product and equipment costs and overhead will affect the price the individual should expect to pay.  Customers need to keep in mind that these items have to be custom made, they aren’t pre-fabricated and waiting to be sold, this aspect alone increases the cost of these specialty items across the entire industry.
