Your branding has to suit both the product and the leather. Here is how the common methods compare.
| Method | Look | Works best on | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blind debossing | Pressed-in, no colour | Firm, smooth leathers | Needs a metal die; subtle and durable |
| Embossing | Raised logo | Thicker leathers | Needs a matched die set |
| Hot-foil | Metallic or coloured | Smooth leathers | Foil can wear on high-contact areas |
| Laser engraving | Fine burned detail | Most grain leathers | No die; suits small runs and personalisation |
| Embroidery | Stitched, textured | Garments, linings, patches | Less suited to small goods |
| Metal plates/hardware | Premium, visible | Bags, jackets, belts | Custom tooling and supplier minimums |
Artwork tips
- Supply vector files (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG)
- Avoid very thin lines and tiny text on textured leathers
- Confirm the logo size in millimetres on the tech pack
Labels
Woven labels feel premium and last; printed labels suit care information. Check the care-label and country-of-origin requirements for each market you sell in.
Packaging
Retail-ready packaging — hangtags, dust bags, boxes, polybags with warning text, barcodes — saves work at your warehouse. Agree carton size, carton markings and units per carton before production.
