Personalisation
Can I use my own illustration on the cover of my phone case?
Yes, take a look at our custom pictures page. There is an additional cost and it takes extra time. You will also need to provide your artwork to the required specifications. But if you’re happy with all that then the results can be really wonderful!
Can I have a longer message than the character limit?
No, we’re very sorry but our character limits are carefully set based on the available space for the product. If you request a message that exceeds the limit then it will result in a delay whilst we contact you.
My message is within the character limit but doesn’t fit in the personalisation box?
This will be because the spaces, symbols and/or punctuation in your message all count towards the character limit.

Bespoke personalisation:
When you opt for our bespoke personalisation service not only will we personalise your item using beautiful embossed gold foil, but we'll do it the good old-fashioned way – using skilled craftsmanship, a discerning eye and our beloved vintage hot foil embossing machine. It's fiddly but we love the process!
Need inspiration?
Stuck for what to write or need a bit of inspiration for your personalised gift message? We've written a quick guide that will leave you full of ideas for writing the perfect message.
Our process
We use letterpress printing and a hot foil stamping machine to personalise our products. It’s a skilled, manual process that involves many stages but, and we’re sure you’ll agree, the intricate end result is definitely worth it. It’s a fascinating technique that dates back to the 15th century.
