The utility model relates to the technical field of steel roller embossing devices, in particular to an embossing roller. Existing embossing rollers are ordinarily integral, decorative patterns cannot be optionally replaced, and roller bodies need to be replaced together with the decorative patterns when the decorative patterns are worn after long-term use, so that materials are relatively wasted. The embossing roller comprises a roller body, wherein a roller shell is arranged outside the roller body, decorative patterns are arranged on the roller shell, four fixed pins are uniformly distributed on the outer edges of the left side face and the right side face of the roller body, a rotating block is arranged on each fixed pin, and a silicon rubber sealing ring is arranged between the roller body and the roller shell. The improved embossing roller is simple in structure and convenient to replace, the trouble of overall replacement is avoided, the cost is effectively reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
