A double-sided embossing folder includes a first embossing plate having a first plurality of positive embossing features disposed thereon in the shape of a first image and a first plurality of negative embossing features formed on an opposite side thereof. A second embossing plate has a second plurality of positive embossing features disposed thereon in the shape of the second image configured to mate with the first plurality of negative embossing features and a second plurality of negative embossing features formed therein in the shape of the first image configured to mate with the first plurality of positive embossing features. At least one living hinge is interposed between and integrally formed with the first and second embossing plates. Each living hinge is formed from at least one V-cut formed between the first and second embossing plates to form inwardly tapered sides.

Double-sided paper embossing apparatus

A printing and embossing folder includes a first panel member having a plurality of holes and a second panel member hingedly coupled to the first panel member having a plurality of holes in corresponding relationship to the holes of the first panel member. A set of design tiles include positive relief designs disposed thereon. A corresponding set of design tiles have either negative relief designs for embossing or no relief for printing. The tiles can be positioned at any desired location on the folder so long as the positive design tiles are positioned opposite a corresponding tile for either embossing or printing. Inserting a sheet of paper within the folder and pressing the folder will cause the design to be embossed or printed into the paper.

Apparatus for forming embossed and printed images

Methods, systems and components for paper trimmers cut paper placed on a planar base using a blade that is moved transversely across the paper. A recessed cutting track containing a desired cutting pattern is inserted into the planar base and a counterpart guide track suspended thereover. A blade assembly is inserted through a channel in the guide track with the cutting blade residing in the counterpart channel in the cutting track. Material to be trimmed is placed between the recessed cutting track and the guide track. As the blade assembly is directed along the length of the counterpart channels, guides on the blade assembly interact with the channel and cause the cutting blade to rotate, cutting along the path of the channel. Desired cuts are made by selecting appropriate interchangeable cutting tracks and counterpart guide tracks.

Paper trimmer

A die cutting block for forming die cuts from paper and other materials includes a base portion having a recess formed therein having a desired shape formed therein, an insert portion having an outer contour which substantially matches the contour of the recess and a blade interposed between and tightly held between the base portion and the insert portion. The blade extends above the base portion and insert portion to provide an exposed edge for cutting paper and the like into a desired shape.
