Disclosed is a flexible die to be used in an embossing apparatus, in which a pair of flexible bases (2a and 2b) are individually wound on a pair of cylindrical rollers arranged to face each other, so that a working object sheet (S) is passed between and embossed by those paired rollers. The paired flexible bases (2a and 2b) are composed of the female flexible base (2a) and the male flexible base (2b) fitting each other. The female flexible base (2a) has linear ridges (3a) formed to match the contour of a working pattern for the emboss treatment. The male flexible base (2b) has such ridges (3b) formed in the region enclosed by the linear ridges (3a) of the female flexible bases as are fitted through clearances in the inner circumferences of the linear ridges (3a). A recess (30) is formed in the ridges (3b). |
