Abstract: The present invention relates to a press platen (1) or endless belt for embossing materials, in particular wooden materials or plastics materials. In order to considerably reduce the production costs and the use of material, it is proposed according to the invention that use is made of a sandwich body which consists of a carrier body (10) and an embossing body (11), wherein said bodies are connected together in a firm and planar manner via a magnetically active and/or metallic adhesive agent (12). As a result of the selection of the adhesive agent, for example in the form of a magnetic film or magnetic materials, a hard or soft solder or a soldering paste, it is thus possible to break the connection in a reversible manner at any time and thus to exchange the embossing body (11).
