  • -  Luxury Guest Book with Removable Pages.  Create a bespoke individually handmade guest book or visitors book, in a choice of different fabric colours. Include the name of your house, establishment, business or yacht on the cover and create a book that makes a statement. Pages are optional and can or can't be included.
     
      - Versatility. The Exposed Screw Post portfolio is a really versatile binder, mainly because its capacity is not constrained by having a spine cover. Different volumes of pages can be accommodated simply by swapping over the screw post lengths.

      -  Any Size or Format.  What you see in the pictures is an A4, portrait book as well as an A5 landscape book. Each has a standard 2cm spine with 25 pages, but it could be in any size from A6, A5, A4, A3 and all the U.S. sizes in between. In any format and with any spine width from 1cm to 15cm. 

    -  Bespoke To Your Requirements.  Just like a bespoke suit or dress, this item is custom made just for you. This means that the size, the outer colour, the inner colour whether it has internal pockets or not is completely up to you.

     -  Need Help.  Hopefully all answers you'll need are in the tabbed section above, but if by any chance you have any further questions or any problems, then please feel free to call us. 
  • -  There is no extra charge for having more than one colour or how and where you use them.

  • -  How. There are 2 options open to you regarding your personalisation. Either we can set out your wording using one of our house fonts as below, a larger version can be found here.

    Hartnack and co house fontsAlternatively, you can send us finished and ready to use artwork in the form of an .ai or .eps file. It must be right reading. Anything stamped must be in black (not greyscale or colour) on a white background. No JPEG's or PNG files please. Our finished artwork specification can be found here. 

    - How is it done? We use the artwork you send us, or that we set out. to create a metal (magnesium) stamping die (picture below) which we attach to our stamping press and then create an impression on to the cover of your portfolio.

    -  Where. Your personalisation can be placed anywhere you like. In order to do this we make a metal die of your name/logo. We can also use the same die to stamp, to make a second stamp to stamp the same thing elsewhere, i.e. On the spine (cost £20.00).

    -  Can I have more than one? Yes, you can have as many personalisations as you like, but each will require a new die and therefore an extra charge  

    -  What are my personalisation options? There are 5 options. They are:
    -  Blind Deboss - Heavy impression with no colour.
                               Blind deboss example

If your page is being placed in page protectors/pockets, then we must allow for the cover to be larger height and width. Also our H&Co pockets maybe a different size to other suppliers, which is why we ask this question.
      If using file or hinge strips, your portfolio will be narrower but longer than page protectors.

        • Premium Leather Portfolio or Album - Traditionally bound leather cover with a screw post mechanism in a choice of leathers, book cloths and personalisation options. Individually hand made and bespoke to you in any size or format.

          Any Size or Format - We make our portfolios and album around what is being placed inside them, from A6 and A5 to A3 and bigger. We also make traditional US sizes as well from junior legal, letter to larger in portrait and landscape. They are all individually made so nothing is pre-cut, just tell us what size you want.

          In a Choice of Beautiful Leather - Our leather is sourced from one of the worlds largest supplier of book coverings and we can source a wide range of leathers in different colours.

          Bespoke To Your Requirements - Just like a bespoke suit or dress, this item is custom made just for you. This means that the size, the outer colour, the inner colour whether it has internal pockets or not is completely up to you.

          Prices & Ordering - Because each of the leather hides is a special order, our prices and ordering method is different to our usual process. Please contact us directly at info@hartnackandco.com letting us know what you require and we can quote you directly.
        • Prices - For this product, we order in the leather hides especially for each order. As a result there is an initial loading of £250 per order.
          However, as we already have the leather hide, if you are ordering more than one product, the £250 is spread over two, three, four or even five products. 
          As this is the case, we prefer to quote per order - Below hopefully works as a price guide.
          Please Note: These prices can change
           Size Single Portfolio Additional Portfolio
          To fit A5 £339 (ex vat) £89.00 (ex vat)
          To fit A4 £357.00 (ex vat) £107.00 (ex vat)
          12" x 12" £379.00 (ex vat) £129.00 (ex vat)
          To fit A3 £390.00 (ex vat) £140.00 (ex vat)
          For the cost of personalisation, please see the Personalisation Tab. 
        • Sizes - We base the overall size of the binder we are making, on what ever is being placed inside the covers of it. 
          As each product is individually made and there are no stock pieces, we can make our portfolios whatever size is required.
          How we calculate size - We take whatever is being bound inside (say an A4 page at 210mm x 297mm) add 8mm to the top, bottom and right hand side and 12mm to the left hand side which incorporates the binding. The overall size of the portfolio or album will therefore be 317mm x 226mm.
          We just need to know the size of what's going inside your portfolio.
        • The Leather - All our hides fro this collection are sourced in Europe and are made on corrected grain hides with a pigmented top coat. They have an excellent light fastness and stain resistance.

        • The Inner Cover - The inner covers are the boards that face you when you open the portfolio. 
          These can be covered in a variety of fabrics and colours which can be found here Fabric Swatch.
        • Inner Pockets - A guide to internal pockets can be found on this page here Internal Pockets.

        • Personalisation - For the genuine leather binders, you have two options.
                       Blind Deboss  £60.00                            Colour Foil   £60.00               
                 blind deboss personalisation on medical portfolio        Foil on leather example 
          -  Where. Your personalisation can be placed anywhere you like on the cover. For instance, the bottom right hand corner or centre and a third of the way up. In order to do this we make a metal die plate of your name. (below)
            
                 
          Having made the metal stamp of your name for the cover, we can also use the same die plate to stamp elsewhere, i.e. On the spine (cost £20.00).

          -  Can I have a different one elsewhere? Yes, you can have as many as you like, but each new personalisation will require a new metal die plate (as above) and therefore an extra charge.

          - How? You have 2 options. We can either use your logo or we can set your name out in one of our typefaces.  

          -  Choose Your Typeface. When ordering you will be asked to choose a typeface/font. A clearer version can be found here, but for reference please see below.

              personalisation fonts for medical portfolios
          If none of the above appeal to you, you can tell us another font, but it would depend upon whether we have it available in our Adobe Fonts system.

          -  For more information. Our guide to personalisation can be found on this page here: Guide To Personalisation.
        • How To Order - This can be done by directly emailing us with your requirements. We will then create a Custom Order for you based on the information you provide us below and then send you a link on our website to fulfil your payment details.
          What we need to know is...
          - The size of the media being placed inside the portfolio or album (if pages protectors, or album inserts are being used, then this will be considered as 'the media')
          - The name and colour of the leather you would like for the outer cover.
          - The name and colour of the material you would like for the inner cover.
          - Whether you would like inner pockets and which you would like.
          - What personalisation you would like and where you would like it.
        • - Size? Is based on the size of the media being placed inside the portfolio or binder. We work on generic international and US sizes, but can make to any size.
