Every letter is painstakingly placed in a typeholder and attention is given to just the right heat, pressure and dwell time. The entire stamping site is masked off for protection. In the style of old world craftsmen, a good eye and a steady hand are necessary here. Foil stamping is done in gold, silver, bronze and color foils or blindstamping. The letters are pressed into the bookcloth cover or into the genuine leather cover of every book we restore or create. We have several different fonts, sizes and many dies in house. Some are chain borders which are applied by hand with a rolling tool or floral accents. Some are gold bars and many are intricately detailed like bride and groom, wedding bells, horsedrawn carriage, teddy bear, inkwell with pen and lots more. We can create a die for stamping from black and white artwork provided by you.

Examples of some are below…

Chain Border, Accent or border
Neil Armstrong, Large die to be blindstamped as a background for title and name
Rorke, Custom die created by retouching original hand drawn artwork of family crest.
Symbol Technology, 3 dies made to be stamped over each other in red, gold and black.
UPS, Custom die for corporate books
Percy the Penny, Trademark die created and stamped in copper.
Abraham and Straus, Straus family crest and title combined
History of the Bible, Handcrafted boxes hotstamped line by line in gold between raised ribs on spine.

We can also monogram or personalize many of the leather products we offer. In addition, we will monogram
any leather item or book you already own. Please contact us for a price quote.

Keep us in mind for bridal party gift such as monogrammed wallets for the groomsmen.
