Leather Monogramming Event for Dark Horse Canned Wine Launch Tour

June 1, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

We brought a special touch to the Canned Wine Launch Tour hosted by Dark Horse Wines (a product of EJ Gallo Winery) with our leather monogramming event experience. The launch tour was a great way to introduce distributors and Gallo salespeople to the new canned wine product which launched in May.

Inkwell Designers℠ leather monogramming event team was invited to attend rooftop events in Minneapolis, Chicago, Dallas and Tampa. Our team was able to watch our Atlanta Braves play the Tampa Bay Rays at the stadium after the event which they really enjoyed! The weather was beautiful as you can see from the pictures below.

We traveled with the Dark Horse marketing team to each private leather monogramming event and monogrammed on beautiful leather koozies created by a company called Rustico and branded with the Dark Horse Wine logo.

Guests were able to choose any monogram they wanted with a choice of silver, gold, black and rose gold or no foil (deboss).

The leather monogramming event was a big hit with guests. People loved the on-site experience of having their leather koozies personalized right in front of them. We had long lines at every event but we were able to get everyone done. We monogrammed an average of 100 koozies per event.

The Canned Wine Launch Tour was a success both for Dark Horse Wines and Inkwell Designers. We were honored to work with the brand and we’re already looking forward to more events in the future.

If you have an event coming up and you’d like to have your guests experience our on-site leather monogramming or engraving, please contact us at 833 465 9311. We’d love to send a proposal and see if we’re a good fit. Our team is a lot of fun to work with and we’re very fast. We only take up a 6 ft space so our footprint is fairly small. We’d love to make your next event even more memorable with a great giveaway that makes people feel special.

Leather Foil Stamping at Mercedes Benz New USA Headquarters in Atlanta

May 30, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Leather foil stamping is one of our most requested services for on-site corporate events. Most recently, we were asked to set up a live leather foil stamping station at the new Mercedes Benz USA headquarters in Atlanta. Two embossers worked on-site to create personalized leather computer cases for 400 employees over two, three-hour days. The Mercedes marketing team wanted a unique experience for employees and asked us to monogram each case at the new HQ in Sandy Springs.

The $90 million facility encompasses nearly 200,000 square feet and will ultimately house 1,000 employees.

To welcome the new USA Mercedes Benz headquarters employees to their office, the marketing team handed out computer cases to everyone. We came in a few days after the opening and performed live leather foil stamping in the common area on the first floor, right by the cafeteria. (You couldn’t miss us!) The employees loved watching how we set up each individual computer case and the type in our machines. Some people stood and watched for a good ten minutes while we worked hard to make sure everyone got their computer case monogrammed by the end of the day.

The Mercedes employee’s loved the personalization and couldn’t believe we were able to get all the computer cases done the same day they brought them to us. We monogrammed their cases with silver foil which looked gorgeous with the silver Mercedes Benz logo on the front. The results were very elegant. We encountered many happy employees during our two day event. People loved the experience and couldn’t wait to show their friends their newly monogrammed case.

We really enjoyed looking at the cars parked in strategic places in the beautiful new offices and were so tempted by the beautiful machines.

This one was a favorite. It was marked No. 61 in the line. Pretty amazing to think where Mercedes is now compared to how they started out.

We enjoyed our leather foil stamping event with Mercedes Benz and we were able to get every computer case done in the six hours we worked on site. We were also very honored to be part of this opening day event for the new Atlanta office space.

If you would like to set up a similar type of event at your corporate office, please see more details about how we do it here. Then give us a call at 833 465 9311 to talk about personalizing your event. We’d love to make your employees feel special and leather foil stamping on site is guaranteed to bring a smile to their faces!

Golf Tournament Gifts Personalized at RBC Heritage in Hilton Head

April 18, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Golf tournament gifts embossed on site at the RBC Heritage PGA Golf Tournament in Hilton Head, South Carolina scored an ace with guests and corporate clients! It was the 50th anniversary of this popular golf event and we were invited to participate in the corporate gifting experience by embossing bags on site. We are all big fans of golf so being able to attend the event was a nice fit for both ourselves and our client, Royal Bank of Canada. You can see our embossing in action in the video below.

We worked with the Royal Bank of Canada through their marketing partner to emboss leather patches with monograms on custom-made gym bags at the golf tournament for clients and VIP guests at Harbourtown Golf Links in the VIP Clubhouse Suite.

We worked every day of the four day event and embossed over 1,000 bags. We averaged 50 to 60 per hour. We were set up at a 6 ft. table with two chairs in the corner of the clubhouse. We don’t take up much space at most events which is one of the reasons our customers love to work with us. They can always find room for a banquet table.

We were able to meet both corporate gifting clients as well as a few PGA players such as Matt Kuchar, Dustin Johnson, Graeme McDowell and Steve Scott. Our table was the most popular in the room. People put their orders in before they went out to watch the tournament and were able to pick up the bags on their way out when they left later that afternoon.

Clients especially loved the on site personalization of the golf tournament gifts we provided with our leather embossing. They couldn’t believe we could add their initials and monograms right on site at our corporate gifting table. Once word got out, even those people who didn’t have tickets to the VIP Suite tried to sneak in and get a bag!

We enjoyed meeting and talking to clients from all walks of life. The best part is people really appreciated the work we did and we were thanked many times for the personalized golf tournament gifts.

Our first golf tournament was a success and we already look forward to many more in the future. We knew we did a good job when our big boss hugged us at the end and thanked us for driving up from Atlanta especially for the event. We enjoyed meeting all of the Royal Bank of Canada executives as well.

If you need golf tournament gifts at your next event, please contact us directly at 833 465 9311 or you can view our events page fore more details (pun intended)!

On-Site Foil Stamping at the MillerCoors Distributor Convention

April 7, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

On-site foil stamping was the biggest booth draw at the MillerCoors Distributor Convention in Austin, TX. We were one booth of many brands under the MillerCoors name, but our lines were even longer than those serving alcohol. People waited 10 to 15 minutes to get their monograms hot foil stamped on their custom hardcover journals. As one guest said, “It was totally worth it!”

The journals were made from a denim-like hardcover paper. These hot foil stamped easily with our embossing machines. We added silver foil to the bottom right-hand corner of each journal. We added both two and three initials of each guest, which made them very personalized and our on-site foil stamping highly sought-after swag.

Our set up did not take up much space at all. They had two four foot tables for us by an electrical outlet with two chairs. We took up just about 8 feet of space. On-site foil stamping is an easy addition to even a small booth at any event.

We loved the way MillerCoors incorporated the journals into the booth’s bookshelves along with other branded memorabilia.

These were the pieces of foil we had used in a goldfish jar at the end of the night. This guy’s jacket even matched his new hot foil stamped journal!

People loved the on-site foil stamping activation at this convention. We had lines the entire time and ran out of journals about an hour before the event ended. All in all, the event was a success for our client. They loved the on-site experience as much as their guests.

We can travel all over the world to deliver our on-site foil stamping at your next trade show, convention or private event. Our pricing and details are on this page.

Logo Embossing Creates an Elegant Finish on Corporate Gifts

March 9, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Logo embossing is one of our specialties. We can create a logo stamping die from your 300 dpi vector image and hand stamp almost any item you bring to us from anywhere you purchase it. We can handle real leather and faux leather (in most cases). However, we get the best results from real leather so please keep that in mind when choosing your items.

A great example of a recent logo embossing project is pictured below. We embossed this leather file folder below for retirees from Delta Community Credit Union.

We were able to take their electronic logo file, create and cut a die and emboss it on leather file folders purchased from a local office supply store in Atlanta. Delta Community corporate sent us their logo and we created the die pictured below.

We loaded the die in our machine, heated it up to 300 degrees and hand stamped each item for about 10 seconds. We were able to turn this project around quickly. Typical logo embossing project turnaround is 7 to 10 business days.

We offer both debossing with no color and embossing with gold, silver or virtually any color foil. Here are more examples of our embossing and debossing projects. We’ve worked with many companies including Delta Air Lines, Mount Holyoke College, Mazda and Coca-Cola.

We work with large and small companies with any size order from 1 to 300 items.

We also offer on site embossing at trade shows, conventions and private events all around the country where we monogram items already stamped with a corporate logo.

If you are interested in ordering a custom logo die and having your items hand stamped with care, please contact us directly at 833 465 9311. We can’t wait to get started!

Monogrammed Trade Show Giveaways Popular at National Retail Federation Expo

January 21, 2018 By Desiree Colonna

Monogrammed trade show giveaways were voted most popular at the recent National Retail Federation show. Inkwell Designers℠ monogrammed 1,350 credit card holders and money clips for all attendees who visited the Kronos booth for three days straight. People loved see their initials in silver foil or debossed with no color on the leather items we gave them.

The National Retail Federation show, or Retail’s Big Show as some call it, is held once a year in New York City. Companies ranging from Trader Joe’s to Ralph Lauren attend to see the latest technology and software to help run their stores more efficiently. We worked at the Kronos booth for three days where attendees had their choice of monogrammed trade show giveaways including a credit card holder and a money clip in various colors.

Word quickly spread like wildfire throughout the show about the cool and unique leather monogrammed tradeshow giveaways. Other companies were asking Kronos employees to save them swag and many wanted them as gifts for their customers and families.

What really intrigued people was seeing our low-tech machines at a high-tech conference. Everyone stopped to stare at the machine as they walked by. They couldn’t figure out what it was. Was it a microscope? Some sort of tattoo machine? The name Gutenberg started to float around, the actual inventor of the printing press.

The Kronos booth became the place to be. The monogrammed trade show giveaways were so popular, Kronos ran out of them by early afternoon the third day of the show.

Here is a video that shows how popular the booth was during the show and what our set-up looked like. It was very simple. All we need is a 6 ft table and two chairs near an electrical outlet. We had two tables at this show with two machines.

Here are some comments from attendees at the show who just got their credit card holders hand monogrammed. They loved their new, personalized swag!

If you’re looking for a unique giveaway for your next trade show, something that will capture attendee’s imagination, look no further. You can find more information about our pricing and services on our event page. We can emboss, monogram, engrave and add lettering to almost any item you can think of at your next show. We’d love to work with you and make your booth the most popular! Contact us directly at 833 465 9311.
