By "embossing" do you just mean the decorative grooves on some of the vinyls? I would honestly consider leaving them off, but you might be able to contract a machine shop with press brakes to make a pair of groove-forming dies out of some thicker gauge sheet metal. You'll need to search or figure out the optimal temperature for the vinyl reforming; if it's less than the boiling point of water then you could control their temperature easily by soaking them in water of that temperature before using them and carefully pre-heating the vinyl with a hair dryer or heat gun.

Another idea is getting a thin piece of steel rod, and wrapping the vinyl around it while the rod is heated, basically the same idea as above but cheaper.

Hopefully there is a more obvious solution that I am missing but those are my thoughts
