We use a hot foil stamping, as well as a laser machine to personalise products. They make great Fair Trade gifts for birthdays and anniversaries, or even planet-friendly Christmas presents. We love that we can make our handmade, sustainably focused products even more special for you and the ones you love.

The Process of hot stamping

Our clever in-house personalising team create your orders every day, so they’re delivered to you as soon as possible.

First, the brass letter blocks are placed into the machine, where they’re heated up to 130°C. Then, your journal, album, bag, or accessory is placed on to the metal plate before a member of our crafty personalising team aligns it perfectly, and adds your chosen foil if you’ve opted for something extra special.

You can choose from gold, silver, or black foil, or blind debossed – just the stamps with no colour – if you prefer to keep it simple.

Finally, the lever is pulled down and the blocks are stamped into the surface of the leather, making it yours forever.

Quite a Character

The stamps we use are only uppercase letters in one typeface, but we do have two different sizes of letters to choose from. Our standard font is 1cm tall, while the small font is 0.5cm.

As well as our two sizes, we also have punctuation and special characters to choose from:

Punctuation:

.,’!?/-

Special character:

@&#+=♥★ÆŒ

If you’d like to add a special character to your personalisation, you can copy and paste the above icons into the box, or send us a message if you’re having any trouble.

Choices, choices…

For each item we can personalise, you’ll find that there’s a limit of how many characters you can have, as we’re unfortunately restricted by both the space available on the product and how many blocks are able to fit into the machine. Each product listing will show exactly how many characters you can have, though it’s usually around 4-6 for journals, albums, and accessories, 7 for bags, and 14 for anything with small letter stamps.

Not all options are offered on every listing, as we tend to offer what we know looks best, or what we can do within the limits of our machines. However, if you would like the smaller letters and can’t seem to find the option on the product you want, or would like to chat about having the personalisation moved somewhere else, just get in touch! We’ll be happy to help.
