An embossing method and apparatus () comprises a rotary embossing device () having a radial direction () and an outer peripheral surface (). The embossing device () includes at least one embossing-component () which extends at least radially outward from the peripheral surface (), and is configured to provide for a first embossing-pattern (). The embossing device () also includes a rotary shaft member (). A base embossing-segment () is operatively joined to the rotary shaft member () and configured to carry a first base-section () of the first embossing-component (). In a particular aspect, a first, supplemental embossing-segment () is operatively joined and selectively positionable on the rotary shaft member (), and is configured to carry a first supplemental-section () of the first embossing-component (). In other aspects, a first spacing mechanism () can adjust a radial position of the first, supplemental embossing-segment (), and a first, supplemental attachment-mechanism () can secure the radial position of the second supplemental embossing-segment ().
