Given the unusual places they often put the power switches on embossers you might like to install a more accessible power switch. Mine is way around at the back, don't know how they could have made it more inconvenient. I also have had to invent a variety of clever paper guides to keep the paper from catching on it's way out of the box.

Like everything they did it was too "designed' and too expensive. I'd build a plywood box having each dimention about 4 inches or so larger than the similar dimention required for the embosser. I'd line it with styrofoam rather than foam rubber, as I'd bet its a better sound insulator and it won't deteriorate into goo as foam rubber often can. choice of lid style and position depends on the embosser. I'd install a small exhaust fan in a back corner, leaving a gap in the insulation to allow air exit, and maybe some holes in the sides for inflow. Of course you need holes for cables, I might go for a simple hinged door with slots that meet an edge of the door so you can open the door and the cables come out the slots. This would allow removal of cables and connectors without making the holes large enough for the connnectors. And, of course a narow slit for paper feed unless you want to make enough room inside for a stack of paper. some kind of arrangement to keep the lid up is manditory unless it can flop clear back out of the way. You could have a bottom with insulation and a sub floor, not sure how much more sound reduction that'd give you, depends on what it's all resting on. You've probably thunk of all these ideas anyhow.
