Live Hot Foil Stamping
for Trade Shows & Corporate Events

A heated die presses your logo and the attendee's name into a luxury leather, cork, or canvas item — in seconds, in front of them. The result: a stand people queue for, a natural lead-capture moment while they wait, and a branded keepsake that lives on every desk for years. We handle setup, personalisation, and breakdown. You handle the conversations.

What You Get

Four outcomes. One activation.

01

Drive Foot Traffic to Your Stand

Live hot foil stamping is the most visually compelling thing on any show floor. The moment the die comes down and the gold reveals, people stop mid-stride. One person watching becomes ten. Your stand becomes the one everyone asks about — before lunch.

02

Turn Your Brand Into a Daily Impression

Your logo in gold on a leather journal. A canvas tote they take to the airport. A card holder that goes to every meeting. Unlike a lanyard or a brochure, a personalised item doesn't get binned — it stays in use, in view, and in front of the people who matter.

04

Earn Genuine Attendee Goodwill

There's a difference between receiving a freebie and receiving a gift. An item made live, in front of them, with their name stamped in gold — that's a gift. It creates the kind of genuine goodwill a follow-up email can't manufacture.

05

Stand Out on a Crowded Show Floor

Every other stand has a screen and a bowl of sweets. You have a craft station, a queue, and a product they'll use for years. That contrast is what keeps your brand front of mind — and your stand front of floor.

Our Materials

What we stamp on

Vegan Leather (PU)

Premium PU leather — the look and feel of genuine leather, without compromise. Holds a hot foil impression with clean edges and lasting depth.

  • Journals, card cases, passport holders, luggage tags
  • Gold foil, colour foil, or blind press

Cork

Sustainable, tactile, and visually distinct. The foil cuts a clean impression into the cork grain — warm, considered, and luxurious.

  • Journals, tote bags, coasters, luggage tags
  • Gold or blind emboss — colour foil available

Canvas

Heavyweight canvas elevated from merchandise to memento. Your logo stamped in gold on something they carry every day.

  • Tote bags, backpacks, pouches, pencil cases
  • Gold foil, colour foil, or pressed lettering

The Personalisation

More than a logo — a name

Beyond your brand mark, every item can be personalised with the attendee's own name or initials — stamped live, in front of them using individual metal type characters arranged and pressed by hand.

The result is something they can't get anywhere else: your brand logo and their name, side by side, on a luxury material they chose.

items stamped per hour

Our hot foil station operates at a comfortable pace of 40–50 personalised items per hour per machine. This includes logo foiling, letter-stamping the name, and quality checking — without rushing the craft.

For events where demand is especially high, we can deploy a second operator and machine. Ask about dual-station setups in your quote.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know

Hot foil stamping uses the traditional technique of heat embossing — a manual press stamps a design (your logo, a name, initials) onto items at your event using a heated metal die. The die presses through a thin foil film onto the surface, leaving a permanent, tactile impression in gold, colour, or blind press. It's done live on-site, giving attendees an interactive experience they can watch and take home.

Our trained stamping artisans operate professional-grade hot foil embossing machines with speed and precision. They handle everything on the day — setup, personalisation, queue management, and breakdown — so your team can focus entirely on conversations and lead capture.

One artisan can personalise one item approximately every 1–1.5 minutes — equating to 40–50 items per hour. This includes logo foiling, individual letter stamping (name or initials), item handling, and quality checking. Additional artisans and machines can be added to increase capacity proportionally for larger events.

We specialise in quality vegan leather (PU) accessories including notebooks, luggage tags, card holders, keyrings, passport holders, mousepads, and laptop sleeves. We also work with natural cork (journals, totes, coasters) and heavyweight canvas (tote bags, pouches, backpacks). Browse our full product range in the catalog.

Absolutely. We create a custom brass die from your logo artwork and can emboss it across all products without any individual personalisation. This works well for pre-stamped giveaway items. We can also combine your logo with individual names — the choice is yours per item.

Three options: Gold foil — warm, classic, and eye-catching. Colour foil — matched to your exact brand Pantone or hex code. Blind press — a purely tactile, debossed impression with no foil. Understated and increasingly popular at design and tech events. All three finishes are available on both your logo die and individual letter stamping.

Yes — we offer an in-studio pre-production service for orders that don't require a live element. Products are personalised in advance and delivered to your venue ready to hand out. This option has a shorter turnaround and a lower cost than live services. Contact us for details and lead times.

Yes. We can stamp on client-supplied merchandise at no extra cost, provided the items are flat and made of a heat-embossing-suitable material — vegan leather (PU), genuine leather, cork, or canvas. Send us a sample before the event and we'll confirm suitability.

Both work. We supply a full range of premium vegan leather, cork, and canvas accessories at wholesale event rates — browse the catalog. If you order through us, please allow 4–5 weeks lead time for bulk orders. Alternatively, source your own and we'll stamp them on the day.

The service fee includes: logistics within the Netherlands, embossing machine, all foiling materials and custom die, professional artisan operators, setup before the event, and full breakdown after. We need approximately 1.5m × 1m of floor space and one standard 240v power outlet. Events outside the Netherlands may incur a travel supplement.

Absolutely. While we're best known for trade shows and conferences, we regularly work at internal company events, product launches, client hospitality days, and award ceremonies. Any event where you want to give guests a premium personalised keepsake is a fit for us.
