Custom Luggage Tags and Embossing Activation for CliffCo Think Tank in Atlanta

Custom Luggage Tags and Embossing Activation for CliffCo Think Tank at the Atlanta Porsche Experience

We recently had the privilege of partnering with CliffCo Think Tank to provide custom luggage tags and an embossing activation at one of the most unique venues in Atlanta—the Atlanta Porsche Experience Center! CliffCo Think Tank, a gathering of forward-thinking professionals, brought together leaders and innovators to share insights, collaborate, and explore cutting-edge strategies in a dynamic environment. This month’s event was truly something special, and we were excited to add a personalized touch with our custom luggage tags and live, cold embossing.

About CliffCo Think Tank
CliffCo Think Tank is known for bringing together thought leaders from various industries for a day of collaboration, problem-solving, and idea-sharing. The Think Tank fosters an environment where professionals can exchange knowledge, network, and develop strategies to drive their businesses forward. This month’s Think Tank was especially impressive, featuring workshops, panel discussions, and exciting driving experiences at the Porsche Experience Center, adding an adrenaline-pumping twist to the event!

Why Custom Luggage Tags?
For an event like CliffCo, it was important to provide attendees with a memorable takeaway. The luggage tags featured CliffCo’s new logo, a jackfish with a crown. Our custom luggage tag and embossing activation allowed guests to create their own stylish, personalized luggage tags made from premium leather. These tags serve as both functional accessories for travelers and a lasting memento from their Think Tank experience.

The Atlanta Porsche Experience
Hosting the event at the Atlanta Porsche Experience Center added an extra layer of excitement. Attendees not only participated in business-related discussions but also had the opportunity to take thrilling test drives in some of Porsche’s finest vehicles. The sleek, modern ambiance of the venue aligned perfectly with the upscale, custom vibe of our leather luggage tag activation.

The Embossing Experience
Guests were able to select their luggage tag design and watch in real-time as we embossed their initials, name, or a custom message onto the tag using our cold embossing technique. The process was interactive, fun, and gave attendees something tangible and personal to take home. The luxurious feel of the leather tags, combined with the bespoke touch, made this activation a standout experience.

The response was fantastic, with attendees loving the opportunity to create their own custom monogrammed luggage tags as they discussed their key takeaways from the Think Tank sessions. This successful collaboration with CliffCo Think Tank at the Porsche Experience Center truly left its mark, blending innovation, creativity, and hands-on interaction. We’re honored to have been part of this cutting-edge event!

Custom Luggage Tags in Atlanta: Cold Embossing Magic at Shepard SandboxLIVE

July 28, 2024 By Desiree Colonna

We had an exhilarating experience creating custom luggage tags at Shepard SandboxLIVE in Atlanta, hosted by Shepard Events. Our latest innovation, cold embossing round luggage tags, took center stage, bringing a unique and personalized touch to the event.

At Inkwell Designers®, we pride ourselves on creating one-of-a-kind event activations that leave lasting impressions. Our custom luggage tags at Shepard SandboxLIVE was no exception. This dynamic event brought together industry professionals, innovators, and creative minds to explore the future of event planning. Our cold embossing technology fit perfectly into this environment, showcasing the blend of artistry and cutting-edge techniques that define our work.

So, what exactly is cold embossing? Unlike traditional embossing methods that use heat and pressure, our process leverages UV ink and UV DTF films to create stunning, textured designs without the need for high temperatures. This method not only preserves the integrity of the material but also allows for intricate and detailed designs that stand out.

At Shepard SandboxLIVE, attendees had the chance to witness the magic of cold embossing firsthand. Our own round, custom luggage tags became a hit, offering guests a practical yet stylish accessory to take home. Each tag was customized on the spot, featuring attendees’ initials. The luggage tags were purchased from us because they work best with our cold embossing technique. We do require our clients to purchase our materials but they love the quality so it’s never a problem. Our leather is top-grade from Italy and comes in many colors.

The process was fascinating to watch. Desiree, our CEO, demonstrated the cold embossing technique, explaining how UV ink and films work together to create a raised, tactile effect. The audience was captivated by the precision and speed at which we could produce these personalized items. The tags were not only visually appealing but also durable, making them perfect for frequent travelers looking to add a touch of elegance to their luggage.

Partnering with Shepard Events for SandboxLIVE was a fantastic opportunity to highlight our innovative capabilities and engage with a community that values creativity and innovation. They even featured our custom luggage tag activation on their website after the event. Click here to read more. We look forward to more collaborations and continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible with cold embossing.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates and events from Inkwell Designers, and if you’re curious about how cold embossing can elevate your next event, don’t hesitate to reach out! Our number is 833 INK-WE11 (465-9311). We’d love to discuss your next event.

Baseball Glove Personalization for Dick’s Sporting Goods

February 23, 2020 By Desiree Colonna

Baseball glove personalization is one of our specialties. After seeing our work online at the MLB All Star Game in Washington D.C., Dick’s Sporting Goods® reached out to our CEO, Desiree Colonna and asked her to bring our personalization service to their stores around the country.

Dick’s wanted a special activation to offer parents and kids before the start of the little league baseball season. We were more than happy to work with them! Our first events took us to Frisco, Texas and Raleigh, North Carolina on the same day.

We personalized baseball gloves by using a burning pen to brand the lighter colored gloves and gold, silver or white paint pens to add names to the dark colored gloves. The burned names are permanent and the pens are waterproof, but semi-permanent.

“Walkoff Weekend” was filled with a lot of fun and surprises including a raffle for a Yeti® cooler and a $500 gift card. However, the baseball glove personalization table was always busy. We personalized over 100 gloves combined in the two cities we visited.

Both kids and parents loved our baseball glove personalization. (We even snuck in a couple baseball bats!) The main reason people want their gloves personalized is to discourage anyone from taking their glove. Having a name on a glove also helps kids find their glove faster if someone else has the same baseball glove.

We will continue to travel to nine more cities across the country bringing our personalized baseball glove activation to many more families. Our travels include many major cities between Portland, Oregon and Portland, Maine. You can find our entire schedule on our calendar page.

We also offer baseball glove personalization (and other sports equipment) to our clients as a service. Click here to find more details and options including a bonded vinyl version where we can add any font in any color to your glove.

If you’d like to bring our activations to your next event, please contact us at 833-INK-WE11 or 833-465-9311. We’d love to talk to you about how we can create a buzz with your guests and make them feel special!

Live Event Embossing for Cushman & Wakefield in Orlando

January 23, 2020 By Desiree Colonna

Live event embossing activations are one of the most popular services we offer the event industry. We recently worked with Cushman & Wakefield, commercial real estate brokers, at a convention in Orlando, Florida.

Our live embossing event consisted of adding guests monogram in gold or silver foil to leather keyfobs and journals. We monogrammed over 200 items within a 3 hour event. Guests lined up with excitement the moment we arrived and started setting up our equipment. The buzz grew throughout the three hours we were there and the line never ended.

The keyfobs and journals were made of genuine leather. Our live embossing event included stamping up to 3 letters of a monogram in gold foil, silver foil or with no color. We stamped the logo on the items before the event and added the monogram on the other side.

We had two embossers at this live event. Each could stamp 60 items per hour.

Guests love the live event embossing activation so much we were out of product at the very end. The lines never ended the entire time we were there.

This lady had us emboss a keyfob for her 3 week old grandchild. She was so excited to give her daughter this gift. “Its my grandson’s first monogrammed gift!” she exclaimed. We love stories like these at our live event embossing activations! Our monogramming makes a beautiful gift for any occasion.

We had a lot of guests tell us how wonderful the activation was. There is something about seeing your initials put on an item during an event which is magical.

If you are interested in hiring us for your next event, please contact desiree@inkwelldesigners.com or call us at 833-465-9311 or (833) INK-WE11. We’d love to provide a quote for our live event embossing!

Sustainable Cork Embossing Now Available for Events

November 10, 2019 By Desiree Colonna

Sustainable cork embossing and cork items are now available from Inkwell Designers for events including trade shows and conferences. Our vegan cork is sourced directly from Portugal and is 100% renewable. We can stamp gold, silver or rose gold foil monograms on each item at your booth. We guarantee lines will form quickly and your booth will be the talk of the trade show or conference!

Cork is harvested for commercial use primarily from the bark of the Cork Oak tree. Sustainable cork embossing is a renewable activation. Portugal produces 50% of cork worldwide. Cork’s elasticity together with its near-impermeability makes it suitable as a material for luggage tags, card holders, wallets, purses, journals and, of course, wine bottles.

Did you know cork can be found in the tombs of the Egyptians? That’s how ancient this material is! It holds up to our embossing beautifully. Your guests will see items that are unique and different with our sustainable cork embossing. Plus, our sustainable cork items are 100% environmentally friendly and vegan.

Our owner, Desiree Colonna, recently worked an event at the Web Summit for PitchBook in Lisbon, Portugal and fell in love with all of the cork products available there. She couldn’t wait to share her amazing find with her clients and knew it would be popular as a new event activation. She was even more excited once she saw how beautifully it could be embossed and even laser engraved!

A totally natural product, cork is environmentally friendly, renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable. There is enough cork today in the forests of Portugal to last more than 100 years. Our sustainable cork embossing activation is totally unique and will make your guests feel great knowing they are supporting the environment.

If you are looking for a beautiful gift for your corporate guests, look no further. We have sourced the best cork products directly from Portugal to use for corporate and personal gifts as well as events worldwide.

If you are interested in a sustainable cork embossing activation at your next event or if you would like to purchase cork for corporate or personal gifts, please contact us directly at 833-INK-WE11 or 833-465-8311.

Leather Embossing Experience in Lisbon for PitchBook Data

November 9, 2019 By Desiree Colonna

Our leather embossing experience is always a favorite activation at events for our clients and their guests. If you want lines in your booth, this is the way to do it. Our leather stamping experience is always a big hit at conferences around the world! Our latest embossing event was in Lisbon, Portugal.

We were invited to create our leather embossing experience for guests at the PitchBook Investor booth at WebSummit 2019. We embossed journals one day and luggage tags a couple days later at the event. After we were done on day one, people never stopped coming by looking for us. There was even a line waiting for us the second day of our leather stamping activation!

Word got out quickly among conference attendees the first day of our activation and spread like wildfire. Our client, PitchBook Data, even asked us to stay 30 minutes later the first day and also add more hours our second day in order to fulfill everyone’s orders. That’s how popular our leather embossing experience always is, no matter where in the world we go! Our client was blown away at the popularity of the activation and very pleased at how many people came to the booth.

The key to successful event activations is making sure there are enough salespeople in your booth to talk to guests while they are waiting in line for their personalized items. Keep in mind, they aren’t waiting long. Each embossing only takes less than one minute. PitchBook understood this from day one and made sure their Investor Relations folks were on hand to talk about their platform with everyone.

Our leather embossing experience was so popular, we had to turn people away at the end of the activation time. The lines never stopped! Everyone loved their stamped journals and luggage tags. It really makes a difference when you give away a high quality, personalized item at your events. People remember your company and will keep your beautiful gifts for a long time to come.
