  • -  Custom Made Ring Binder.  There isn't anything 'off the shelf', effectively you are starting off with a blank sheet. What is important however, is that you will be buying an individually hand made ring binder of the highest possible standard, all you need to do is tell us how you would like it to look. 

    -  Any Size or Format.  What you see in the pictures is an A4, portrait ring binder with a 2.5cm ring binder mechanism. It could however be any size from A5, A4 & A3 and all the U.S. sizes in between, in either Portrait or Landscape. 

    -  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.

    -  A Large Choice of Mechanisms.  European 2 or 4 ring, American 3 ring, lever arch file mechanisms and sizes from 2cm to 12cm's. We've dedicated a whole page, to what's available which can be found on this link here, Ring Binder and Lever Arch Mechanisms

  • -  There is no extra charge for having more than one colour or how and where you use them.

    -  There is however a one off charge for using a non standard material.

    -  For the outer cover we strongly suggest you use either a Buckram or Faux Leather as these can be wiped clean. Windsor and Colorado book cloths cannot!

    -  Please see all the fabrics and colours here:  H&Co Colour Swatch Guide.

    -  We strongly urge you to request fabric samples from us if you are in any doubt about your choice.
  • -  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.
              magnesium dies
    -  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
    -  Colour Block Foiled - Light impression with colour foil infill.

                               Inset space example
    -  Plaque with Name Foiled - As above, an area is inset into the cover, but we create a plaque and foil or blind deboss a name or logo.

Within a few minutes of having placed an order, you will receive via email, an Order Confirmation sheet. At the bottom of this page you will find an expected despatch date.

    For current lead times between ordering and dispatch as well as shipping costs please click on this link: Delivery lead times and shipping costs.
  • - 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. If the size of the media is not mentioned here we will either ask you to pick the closest size we feature (for pricing purposes) and then you can tell what size the media is, or will make out a special order for you.

     - Orientation? Portrait means the media sits vertically and is bound along the long edge.
    Landscape means the media sits horizontally and is bound along the short edge.

    - Binder Mechanism? The best guide we can forward you to is the one we have set out on this page here, Ring Binder Mechanisms, which explains what we have, what we can get and also capacity.

     - Protectors, Sleeves or Hinge Strips? This is important for us to know. 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.

Amazing Service

I just wanted to write a review with regard to Hartnack Company. Jackie and Nick were unbelievable in helping me create the most unforgettable folder for one of my directors who retired earlier this year. After an extremely stressful few days, with regard to wrong measurements being given by my graphic designer, 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.

Bespoke keepsake and superb craftsmanship

Was delighted to be given a personalized "Culinary Creations" 4 ring binder, beautifully hand made and embossed, in which I keep much loved and well tested recipes which have been used over many years. The colour chosen matches beautifully with the colour scheme of my kitchen. A wonderful gift! Dealing with both Nick and Jackie has been great! Thank you!
