Many years ago, Downtown Manhattan especially the City Hall area had many Commercial Printers and Rubber Stamp and Seal Companies. They were all competing for the business of entrepreneurs who would come to the city “take care of the paperwork” and start their new business. What a great feeling it must have been to come New York with an idea to start a company and then go home with an official Business Certificate.

From checking name availability, having an attorney fill out the paper work, then filing the documents with the city and state offices for a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation, the possibilities seemed endless. The last step in the process was always purchasing the corporate kit and the “corporate seal” which made everything seem so official. These corporate seals, as well as the embossers used for professional licenses including architects, engineers and notaries public etc. are still available for purchase by Embossingseals.com.

Embossingseals.com is still going strong. The “last of the Mohicans” in Downtown New York City, we operate on a full floor at 22 Park Place sandwiched in between the Woolworth Building and the Four Season Hotel. Come visit our facility to order your seal. See our variety of 9 different types of seal presses to choose from. Watch our professional engravers use lasers to manufacture your customized embosser.

Our competitors are long gone due to many factors such as high rents, retiring and just simply how hard it is to make it in NYC. We “honor” all repairs and engrave new information on all presses. Take a look at the vintage relics below. These were Embossing Seal Engravers that operated in New York in the late 1800’s. All that is left is the Ephemera Catalogs we display at our office.
