Luxury, bespoke
hand crafted
boxes & binders.
Meticulously hand crafted in Britain using the finest materials.
There is only one way to make a one of a kind product, that's by hand. We've been using the same suppliers since we started and we wanted the best we could find. We appreciate that quality requires the best materials.
Shop Products
Most of the items that you see on this website are based on the products you see below. Each item starts as a large piece of board or leather which is then hand cut to the size and format required. It is covered in your choice of material and then embossed or printed to your specification. It's completely custom made and bespoke.
Shop by use.
Every product we make solves a particular problem and performs a specific job. This can be for personal use; a portfolio, car binder or family history file, to business use as presentation binders or boxes. Find your use below to see how we can help you and what we have done for others.
What we do
Hartnack & Company specialise in making high quality, one-off bespoke binders and boxes for a variety of customers and industries, located in the U.K. and around the world.
Everything is hand crafted and made to order, bespoke to either a special individual, event, organisation or vehicle.
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 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.
How It's Made
Everything we make is custom-made and hand-crafted in our Devon studio. This process is driven by both necessity and desire. 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. This is not something that can be mass-produced in a factory.
Each item is carefully handcrafted using traditional techniques because, while they may take longer, they ensure that our products 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.
What our customers have to say about us.
Since 2014 we've been lucky enough to grow a long list of happy customers. One of the perks of our work is to receive letters of thanks from people once they have received their delivery.
Ocassionally we get reviews, some of which you see below.
"...From start to finish the procedure, craftsmanship and delivery is second to none. They show off my images so well and the portfolios look so good either on a coffee table or on shelves. An excellent company to deal with. You will not find better."

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.."

A set of document boxes and binders for a very historic car
As the Sotheby’s catalogue entry says “Accompanying the car is a truly immense file of documentation…” enough to fill two 65mm ring binders and two 100mm deep box files as it happens. A car with this much pedigree, history and provenance is going to come with a lot of paper work.
