Custom Processes
Your presentation is your chance to make a lasting impression — and customization sets it apart. Whether you’re developing a full client series or a one-off portfolio for yourself, our project gallery is a great place to spark ideas. Have something in mind that goes beyond our stock line? Let’s talk. We’ll work with you to design and build a piece that’s as unique as your vision.
Laser Etch
Burnt Etch / Frost Etch
Laser etching permanently engraves your artwork into the surface, creating a mark that lasts as long as the material itself. On wood, the laser burns into the grain, leaving a rich, etched indentation that contrasts beautifully with the finish and makes your brand artwork stand out. On anodized aluminum covers, the process produces a frosted effect in clean white or soft off-white tones for a sleek, modern look.

Foil Emboss
Foil embossing is a premium die-stamp technique that uses heat and pressure to press metallic foil directly into the surface of your leather portfolio. The result is a deep, tactile impression with a lasting finish — available in striking metallics like gold, silver, copper, or black.
Paint Fill
Our paint fill technique creates sharp, high-contrast designs on materials like acrylic, leather, and wood. The process begins with a paper mask applied to the surface. A laser then etches away the mask and lightly engraves the material beneath. We spray paint into the exposed areas, remove the mask, and reveal a clean surface with your artwork displayed in crisp, vivid detail.

Plate
Adding a metal plate to your portfolio cover creates a bold, elevated branding statement. Plates can be customized with etching or UV printing and mounted in two ways: recessed into wood grain covers for a seamless flush finish, or affixed to aluminum covers for a striking, dimensional look.
Cutout
Our cut out technique creates windows or shapes in woodgrain or acrylic portfolio covers, offering a glimpse of the interior finish or first page beneath. Often used to showcase a logo or pattern, this process adds depth and intrigue — giving your portfolio a unique detail that hints at the story inside.
UV Print
UV printing applies ink directly onto the surface of your portfolio, then cures it with UV light for a durable, permanent finish. The result is crisp artwork with a subtle raised texture. We can match Pantone colors to ensure perfect brand consistency
Inlay
Inlay adds depth and contrast by embedding one material into another. Using wood or acrylic, we laser-etch a pocket into the cover or lid, then fill it with a chosen material to introduce color, texture, or dimension. The finish can be raised, flush, or recessed depending on your design. With options ranging from fine woods to metals and plastics, inlay offers a striking way to highlight your cover artwork and make your presentation unforgettable.
