We are a small family owned Artisan bindery, who specialise in making special one-off items that make a statement. Meticulously handcrafted in Britain

Shop by use.

Every product we make performs a specific job. It will have a specific use and hopefully for you solve a particular problem. This can be for personal use; a keepsake box, a wedding guest book, a portfolio book, car document binder, certificate binder, family history file etc. Or it can be for business use; binders or boxes for a presentation. Menus for a restaurant. Guest room or cabin binders etc.
It sometimes much easier to find what it is you are looking for by the job it is going to do either seeing previous examples or by looking at pages that serve the use or industry that you are in.
Find your use below to see how we can help you and what we have done for others.

What we do

Hartnack & Company are a small artisan bindery that specialise in making high quality, one-off bespoke binders and boxes for a variety of customers and business's that are located in the U.K. and around the world.

Everything we make is hand crafted and made to order, bespoke to either a special individual, event, organisation or vehicle.

Importantly we don't make 100's of anything, we just concentrate on doing small quantities but very well. As such we specialise in 'the special'.

Who Are We

Hartnack & Company are a small family business and we are located in the rural and beautiful county of Devon in England.

Things began in 2014, in our spare room, when the need arose for a certificate binder for our daughter.

Since then things have moved on a bit and we have grown into what you see on these pages. As a family business, we take what we produce personally. We aim to deliver a superior, quality product surpassing the expectations of those who buy them, and hopefully making a few friends along the way.

Our Story

How It's Made

Everything we make is custom-made and hand-crafted in our Devon studio. We create bespoke products, so each order is unique and tailored to the contents it will carry. It’s a one-off, with varying sizes, colours, options, and of course, personalisation. As a result this is not something that can be mass-produced in a factory.

Each item is carefully hand made using traditional techniques. While this may take longer, this ensures that our products whether they are boxes or binders are made properly and will last. It requires skill, attention to detail, and a labour of love, but we are incredibly proud of what we create and hope you will be too.

Custom made luxury Clamshell Box bespoke presentation box with strong double thick walls and custom sizing options by Hartnack & Co.

Bespoke Clamshell Box

"I will always cherish what they did for me. The extraordinary quality of the leather, the fantastic quality of the binder mechanisms themselves are all the best. I’ve yet to see anything like them sold anywhere and couldn’t imagine anyone with a better quality product. I couldn’t possibly be happier. I highly recommend them for anyone’s most important keepsakes. Worth every penny and more! You’ll never regret this quality purchase!."

"...Jackie and Nick were unbelievable in helping me create the most unforgettable folder for one of my directors who retired earlier this year. They worked above and beyond the call of duty to rectify these issues, and created the most incredible folder that brought my boss to tears when he opened it.

I would highly recommend this company time and time again, and as I said, their attention to detail is fantastic.."

custom made box with a high quality stepped joint construction by Hartnack and Co

The Stepped Joint - Why we use it in making our boxes.

We often refer to "stepped joints". Why do we use it? Well according to the Library of Congress "The step joint is used for constructing corners of the majority of boxes because it is more rigid than a simple butt joint This stepped joint is also used to join the base to the wall (of the boxes) board. A further reference to the step jointed corner maybe found in Fragments of Bookbinding Technique by T. Harrison (1876 - 1955)"
