When Versace sought to create a truly bespoke leather event activation for their VIP clients at their Atlanta Phipps Plaza location, they turned to none other than Desiree Colonna, founder of Inkwell Designers®, to deliver an extraordinary VIP event activation with a personalized touch.

The highlight of the event was Desiree’s ability to cold emboss luxurious leather purse tags using genuine Versace leather and fabrics. Guests were offered the opportunity to personalize these tags, creating monograms that perfectly complemented their high-end purchases. What set Desiree apart—and made her VIP leather event activation with Versace so unique—was her ability to replicate the exact font style of Versace’s iconic logo in the embossing process. This level of precision and brand consistency was critical to maintaining the luxury aesthetic that Versace’s clients expect.

Custom Luggage Tags in Atlanta: Cold Embossing Magic at Shepard SandboxLIVE

July 28, 2024 By Desiree Colonna

We had an exhilarating experience creating custom luggage tags at Shepard SandboxLIVE in Atlanta, hosted by Shepard Events. Our latest innovation, cold embossing round luggage tags, took center stage, bringing a unique and personalized touch to the event.

At Inkwell Designers®, we pride ourselves on creating one-of-a-kind event activations that leave lasting impressions. Our custom luggage tags at Shepard SandboxLIVE was no exception. This dynamic event brought together industry professionals, innovators, and creative minds to explore the future of event planning. Our cold embossing technology fit perfectly into this environment, showcasing the blend of artistry and cutting-edge techniques that define our work.

So, what exactly is cold embossing? Unlike traditional embossing methods that use heat and pressure, our process leverages UV ink and UV DTF films to create stunning, textured designs without the need for high temperatures. This method not only preserves the integrity of the material but also allows for intricate and detailed designs that stand out.

At Shepard SandboxLIVE, attendees had the chance to witness the magic of cold embossing firsthand. Our own round, custom luggage tags became a hit, offering guests a practical yet stylish accessory to take home. Each tag was customized on the spot, featuring attendees’ initials. The luggage tags were purchased from us because they work best with our cold embossing technique. We do require our clients to purchase our materials but they love the quality so it’s never a problem. Our leather is top-grade from Italy and comes in many colors.

The process was fascinating to watch. Desiree, our CEO, demonstrated the cold embossing technique, explaining how UV ink and films work together to create a raised, tactile effect. The audience was captivated by the precision and speed at which we could produce these personalized items. The tags were not only visually appealing but also durable, making them perfect for frequent travelers looking to add a touch of elegance to their luggage.

Partnering with Shepard Events for SandboxLIVE was a fantastic opportunity to highlight our innovative capabilities and engage with a community that values creativity and innovation. They even featured our custom luggage tag activation on their website after the event. Click here to read more. We look forward to more collaborations and continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible with cold embossing.

Live Event Embossing for Cushman & Wakefield in Orlando

January 23, 2020 By Desiree Colonna

Live event embossing activations are one of the most popular services we offer the event industry. We recently worked with Cushman & Wakefield, commercial real estate brokers, at a convention in Orlando, Florida.

Our live embossing event consisted of adding guests monogram in gold or silver foil to leather keyfobs and journals. We monogrammed over 200 items within a 3 hour event. Guests lined up with excitement the moment we arrived and started setting up our equipment. The buzz grew throughout the three hours we were there and the line never ended.

The keyfobs and journals were made of genuine leather. Our live embossing event included stamping up to 3 letters of a monogram in gold foil, silver foil or with no color. We stamped the logo on the items before the event and added the monogram on the other side.

We had two embossers at this live event. Each could stamp 60 items per hour.

Guests love the live event embossing activation so much we were out of product at the very end. The lines never ended the entire time we were there.

This lady had us emboss a keyfob for her 3 week old grandchild. She was so excited to give her daughter this gift. “Its my grandson’s first monogrammed gift!” she exclaimed. We love stories like these at our live event embossing activations! Our monogramming makes a beautiful gift for any occasion.

We had a lot of guests tell us how wonderful the activation was. There is something about seeing your initials put on an item during an event which is magical.

Sustainable Cork Embossing Now Available for Events

November 10, 2019 By Desiree Colonna

Sustainable cork embossing and cork items are now available from Inkwell Designers for events including trade shows and conferences. Our vegan cork is sourced directly from Portugal and is 100% renewable. We can stamp gold, silver or rose gold foil monograms on each item at your booth. We guarantee lines will form quickly and your booth will be the talk of the trade show or conference!

Cork is harvested for commercial use primarily from the bark of the Cork Oak tree. Sustainable cork embossing is a renewable activation. Portugal produces 50% of cork worldwide. Cork’s elasticity together with its near-impermeability makes it suitable as a material for luggage tags, card holders, wallets, purses, journals and, of course, wine bottles.

Did you know cork can be found in the tombs of the Egyptians? That’s how ancient this material is! It holds up to our embossing beautifully. Your guests will see items that are unique and different with our sustainable cork embossing. Plus, our sustainable cork items are 100% environmentally friendly and vegan.

Our owner, Desiree Colonna, recently worked an event at the Web Summit for PitchBook in Lisbon, Portugal and fell in love with all of the cork products available there. She couldn’t wait to share her amazing find with her clients and knew it would be popular as a new event activation. She was even more excited once she saw how beautifully it could be embossed and even laser engraved!

A totally natural product, cork is environmentally friendly, renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable. There is enough cork today in the forests of Portugal to last more than 100 years. Our sustainable cork embossing activation is totally unique and will make your guests feel great knowing they are supporting the environment.

If you are looking for a beautiful gift for your corporate guests, look no further. We have sourced the best cork products directly from Portugal to use for corporate and personal gifts as well as events worldwide.

If you are interested in a sustainable cork embossing activation at your next event or if you would like to purchase cork for corporate or personal gifts, please contact us directly at 833-INK-WE11 or 833-465-8311.
