Keep in mind you will be damaging the product finish (i.e. paint on steel
cases). Embossing is usually done before the finishing process.

Why not glue on stickers or affix stamped metal plates?

Hi everyone,

Before I ask my question, I would just let you all know I know nothing
about metal work.

I have a computer business, and was intrested in branding my computers
more. What I want to do is somehow put my logo onto the computer case,
but not with just simply put on a sticker. I wanted to somehow
engrave my the case with my logo so if people touch it, they can feel
my logo(simlair to an HP, DELL, IBM computer).

I will buy aluminum Cases and then put my logo on the side. I spoke
with a famiyl friend who didn't know too much about it but thought that
i would need something like a clamp that had a our logo on it, and when
we clamp it down on the side of the case it will put our logo on it. He
said it was called embossing.

I was wondering if this was the correct way to do it? if not, is there
an more effienct way? and how much a machine like this would cost me
about(i am in toronto)?


Thanks in advance



It would be really easy to do a simple embossed logo using a small
hydraulic press and an open die.
