Who we are

About Embossing Rollers Ltd

Creating a great impression every time

A UK-owned engraving company with a collective 80 years of hands-on experience, serving the embossing and converting industries at home and globally.

Established 2013

Deep roots.
Modern capability.

Embossing Rollers Ltd was founded in 2013, but the expertise behind it goes back far further. Our team collectively brings over 80 years of specialist engraving knowledge to every project experience earned in workshops, not classrooms.

Originally based in Stalybridge, Cheshire, we outgrew our first site as demand grew. Our move to a larger facility in Heywood, Lancashire gave us the space to expand our capabilities and we're still growing.

We serve clients across the UK and internationally, in industries ranging from tissue and nonwovens to packaging, luxury goods, and beyond.

Our expertise

Time-served.
No shortcuts.

Every engraver at ERL completed a formal apprenticeship starting straight from school and working under experienced craftsmen. That foundation shapes everything we do.

It's why we can handle unusual applications that catch others out. Our team has an in-depth understanding of embossing technology that goes beyond technique they understand why things work, which means they can innovate when standard solutions fall short.

Quality and pride underpin every project. A stringent inspection procedure from arrival to despatch means our customers come back because the roller we deliver is exactly what was agreed.

Apprenticeship trained

Every engraver completed a full five-year apprenticeship providing unmatched foundations.

Innovative problem solving

A deep understanding of embossing technology means we find solutions where others reach their limits.

Rigorous quality control

Every roller is inspected from arrival through to despatch — no exceptions, no shortcuts.
