Ideal® is the industry's leading embosser and the Model M is a step up from the less expensive No. 1, which many stores carry.

Handhelds are great for notaries on the go while desk models are best if you don't travel.

The Ideal Model M is a heavy-duty hand notary seal embosser which produces clean, crisp impressions on most paper stocks.

This embosser offers a high degree of leverage, longer paper insertion than entry-level models such as the No. 1, and a die-insert that is interchangeable with the Desk model. When you purchase the Model M handheld embosser, you will also receive a black carrying pouch.

The Ideal Model M Desk embosser features a larger body and is meant to sit atop your desk. Embossments are a bit easier with the desk style due to the greater degree of leverage it offers.

When you order the Model M hand held or Desk model, it will come with a die insert engraved with your notary commission information. If your commission information includes an expiration date, you will simply need to buy a replacement insert when your new term begins.

The Insert listed in our store is just that - the insert ONLY. If you purchase an insert, you should already have an Ideal Model M seal handle to place it in.

Embossers are sometimes called paper crimpers. In many states, an embosser alone is sufficient to perform a notarization; in others, they may only be used in conjunction with notary seal stamps.


What does the law say about the Alaska Notary Stamp?
courthouse
Alaska Notary Handbook
Seal
The notary seal may be either a seal press or rubber stamp that will print or emboss a seal that legibly reproduces, under photographic methods, the words, "State of Alaska", "Notary Public", and the name of the notary. The seal may be circular, not over 2 inches in diameter, or may be a rectangular form, not more than 1 inch in width by 2.5 inches in length.

You must also type, print, or rubber-stamp the following information on every notary certificate you complete and must be capable of photographic reproduction:
  1. Your name exactly as it appears on your commission and seal;
  2. the words, "My commission expires";
  3. expiration date of your notary commission.
For convenience, it is suggested that a rubber stamp be purchased which contains this information. EXAMPLE:
John Smith________________
My Commission Expires 1/15/98
