Members scottishshoemaker Posted October 10, 2011 Members Report Posted October 10, 2011 Hi guys n gals, this last year I have been asked quite a few times now if I do this type of work. Never looked into it but was wondering if anybody on here does this type of work and what is involved. They are looking for personalising of leathergoods such as wallets and purses they have already purchased. Any help will be great. Thanks in advance. Quote You Want It, I'll Make It!
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted October 10, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted October 10, 2011 The process is called 'hot stamping', and usually involves a press, the lettering material, and some heat. I'm not all that familiar with it, but having the name of the process should help you find more info on it.
