Leather Embossing
Note:  

Shall not be assigned to a risk engaged in operations described by another classification unless the operations subject to Code 2640 are conducted as a separate and distinct business.

Description

Code 2640 applies to employers that specialize in embossing leather.  Leather embossing is done by placing cut leather on a rolling press where the movable upper plate containing the embossed plate is pressed under heat and great pressure.  This process creates the desired grain of leather.  The leather may be buffed and stretched before being placed into the press.  Foil may be applied in some cases, which is glued to the leather and then heat sealed to produce a design on the leather.

This classification is applicable to employers who are engaged in embossing leather as a finishing element.  It is not intended to be used in connection with manufacturing leather items such as bags, belts, luggage, pocketbooks, wallets, etc. or for operations that are subject to Code 2623 “Leather Mfg. – Patent or Enamel.”  Any embossing performed by such manufacturers is to be included under the classification applicable to the manufacturing operations.
