William,
We used a pneumatic, high pressure press, to emboss and deboss on apparel, denim jackets and some leather products.
All of our dies were purchased from a company called Owosso Graphic Arts. Brass Dies for Embossing, Debossing | Owosso Graphics
I cannot say enough about their quality and knowledge of the debossing/embossing art. They will educate you on sizes, relief tolerances, and do's and don'ts!
If you come up with a design, send it to them and ask for their recommendations.
This is a niche market! Because of the die cost, a large number of products need to be made to offset the die cost!
Our market could not bear this cost. We sold our machine and dies to a company that wanted to add this process to their product line!
If you have any questions, I would be happy to try to answer them. Our debossing attempt lasted for about 2 years!
Our suggestion would be: Be Good..... and be expensive!
Good Luck!
Mike
