The apparatus includes rollers which receive a web or webs of such material therebetween and removable embossing plates secured to the surface of the rollers and having an embossing surface for embossing the webs. The rollers are constructed such that they have magnetic properties whereby the embossing plates which are comprised of magnetically attracted material can be held against the roller surface.
