Embossing Patterns
Epo offers a unique advantage with the capability to emboss using either steel rollers or vacuum rollers, offering a selection of over 100 patterns. While most synthetic leathers are typically embossed using steel rollers, opting for vacuum rollers results in a more three-dimensional texture. This enhances the product with increased depth, a softer tactile sensation, and additional thickness (steel rollers compress, while vacuum rollers pull). We also provide custom patterns upon request—please get in touch with us to inquire about pricing for custom rollers.
Vacuum Embossing
Vacuum embossing rollers utilize heated plastic and their ceramic surfaces to create a suction effect through micropores, rather than pressing against the material like steel rollers. This technique significantly improves the three-dimensional embossing of synthetic leather, providing greater depth, a softer texture, and additional thickness. Vacuum rollers generally have a lifespan of 150,000 to 200,000 yards before needing replacement. We also offer custom patterns—please contact us for pricing on personalized rollers!
