HOW TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT EMBOSSER ORIENTATION
What does embosser orientation mean?
Orientation simply means - which side of the page will you be embossing?
See illustration below for a helpful visual. There are four options: top, bottom, left and right.
When we make an embosser, we need to fix the engraved impression into one of these positions.
What will you be embossing?
ENVELOPES : Embossing envelopes flaps will need BOTTOM orientation. ie. The embosser will be coming up from the bottom of the flap to make the impression.
As shown here, you'll need a 'bottom' orientation for envelope flaps. Place cards or business cards also require a 'bottom' orientation. For headed paper and embossed details at the top of stationery, a ‘top’ orientation is the best option. 
BOOKS : The ‘right’ orientation is suitable for embossing books which can be used towards the right side of book pages. Finally, the ‘left’ orientation is great for embossed detail along the left side of the page.
For books, a 'right' embosser orientation is the best choice.
Still unsure of which orientation to choose?
A 'bottom' orientation is the most popular choice. If you are unsure of which orientation to choose, ‘bottom’ is a great place to start.
