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.

Utah Notary Facts to Remember
8. A notary public must keep an official notarial seal (for the purpose of authenticating official acts) that, when affixed in ink, makes a sharp, legible and photographically reproducible impression that includes the notary public's name exactly as indicated on the commission, the words "Notary Public," "State of Utah", and "my commission expires (commission expiration date)" the address of the notary's business or residence, official Great Seal of the State of Utah, and a rectangular border not to exceed 1 x 2 ½" surrounding the required words.

Important Note: A smudged notary seal may be corrected by reaffixing the seal nearby in a sharp, legible fashion.
