For personalisation work, it is more common to use just Capital Letters rather than Capitals and Lowercase Letters. We have shown prices separately for Capital and Lowercase Letters below for some of more more popular founts/typestyles

Every care is taken in the composition and packing of founts
but small variations are inevitable, so the tables shown above
must be accepted as a guide and not a guarantee.

Note: If you have only purchased capital letters, then that is all
you will receive and NOT lowercase too (and vice versa).

Some of our packages may contain ‘Double size set’ which means
you will get twice as many letters as shown above.

CAPITAL LETTERS

lowercase letters

If you looking to print initials onto leather products, then your typestyle has
to be eligible/easy-to-read - such as those carefully chosen by us on the left.

Letters are secured into our hot foil stamping machines by using ‘Slip Cases’ (see below under ‘Accessories’.

Slip Cases are available in many point sizes - just select the correct point size Slip case for your preferred type style.

One slip case is required for each line of text. Different sizes of slip cases can be used with our hot foil printing machines.

When using slip cases, you will also need to buy optional ‘Quads & Spacers’. These are basically fillers used to block out excess space within a slip case. For example, the internal width of our slip cases is 4” and if you initials just cover 1/2”, then you need to block the remaining 3.5” with quads & spacers.
