A bee in a hexagon, no words: a small embosser for letters, envelopes and honey jar labels.

About this design

A bee seen from above, with a striped body and open wings, inside a honeycomb hexagon. No text, so it suits anything. Seal letters, mark the corner of your notepaper, or emboss the labels and tags on honey jars, candles and soap. At 50 mm it is small enough to reach most places on a card.

Made with our free paper embosser maker, not modelled by hand: we drew the picture in code, uploaded it and set a 50 by 50 mm plate; the page traced it into the raised die and cut the matching cavity into the other plate. It prints as ONE part: the male die with the raised design and the female die with the matching cavity, joined by a print-in-place hinge, flat and open on the bed with no supports. Fold it shut over a card and squeeze. The design is 30 by 34 mm with a 1 mm relief. The zip holds exactly what the tool gives you, as an STL and as a 3MF with the relief as its own coloured part, plus the picture, to change and upload again.

Shown as a 3D render of the printed embosser and a card embossed with its mark, not a photo.
