Leather

When our customers think of world-class leather engraving and leather embossing, they think of American Etchworks (or so we like to think!)

With over 15 years working with various types of leather, we can safely say we're in very comfortable territory when it comes to designing and creating customized leather products that will last a lifetime. Our personally-selected leather is of extremely high quality and is sourced from our expert leatherworker in Pittsboro, N.C. However, if you wish to provide your own leather goods, we are more than happy to engrave that as well!

Any leather product that you can think of - we can engrave it. From mousepads to wallets, car and truck mats to doormats, to personalized flasks (a very popular request) - we can do it all! Your imagination is the limit. Let us answer all of your leather engraving questions and provide you with leather products to last a lifetime and beyond!

A warm hello and thank you to all of our Ft. Bragg patrons!

Leather Engraving in a Nutshell

There's just something about leather that's incredibly pleasing. It's truly a unique material - extremely long lasting, durable, aesthetically pleasing, and a whole lot of fun to engrave!

Believe it or not, there are many ways to personalize leather:

Branding: Pressing a hot piece of metal against the hide, much like a cattle brand
Pyrography: Think "electric branding" - using a hot pen to engrave the leather
Embossing: Forcefully stamping a pattern using a rolling wheel or steel plate
Carving: Using a knife to carve patterns (however, this limits the types of leather)
Perforation: As it sounds - punching holes into leather to form patterns
Embroidery: Stitching patterns or designs into leather with a needle.

There is one other way, and one we're quite good at - laser engraving!

Laser-based leather engraving works by scorching the leather with surgical precision to create long-lasting imprints with extremely high levels of detail. At American Etchworks, we utilize our commercial-grade laser to personalize your choice of leather with designs of almost limitless complexity and creativity. If you can dream it up, we can engrave it.
