Personalization

At Blue Sky Papers, we pride ourselves on helping you create a custom guest book, album or keepsake that is personally unique and can be cherished as a family heirloom for generations.  And to help accomplish this goal, we specialize in a wide variety of personalization options. 

Most of our books and keepsakes can be personalized.  The type of personalization available for each item pops up when you click on the radial button under "Personalize."  You may select from the options given for each item and learn more about each option by clicking on the link by each section.   Or, you can learn about ALL the options here.  

 Please note that only some personalization options can be overnighted - primarily the embossed personalization.

Embossing (our favorite and most popular way to personalize)

With embossed personalization, your books will have a name, logo or script permanently "pressed" into the book cover with colored foil or without color to leave an impression.  This is also known as foil stamping, hot stamping and debossing.  

Multiple lines are stamped center aligned in the lower right corner.  Indicate "and" or "&". Ampersands (&) will be used when not indicated or if space savings requires it. 28 character max per line.  Your order serves as the proof - please make sure it reads accurately.

Embossing Location:

Our books can be embossed in several, different locations.  Here is the complete list of personalization options available for all our products, however, the location options available for any specific item are given as choices in the drop down menu on that item's page.

Standard Location: Bottom Right

Embossing Colors:

All available colors are listed below, respectively - Gold, Silver, Blind (no color/debossing), Tint, Pewter, Brown, Black, White, Gray.  These examples represent a leather, light color cloth and dark color cloth.  

Note: Each item has different color options and some colors may not be available for a particular product.   To determine which colors are available for any given product, please refer to the drop down on the product's page.

Custom Logos and Art:

We can emboss your logo, art or custom image into most of our books and keepsakes. In order to do so, we will need to have a custom metal die engraved with your art. There is a one-time cost of $85 to have the die created, regardless of the number of items you emboss with the die.

These metal die embossing plates can be used to imprint your logo into many other items as well - leather goods, foil stamp boxes and some papers for example - many times over again.

Engraving

Engraved personalized orders cannot be expedited to receive in the 1-2 days or 3-5 days shipping expectations.  Engraved plaques add an extra week on to your order. For expedited orders of BOOKS, we can overnight ship the book/product and then separately ship the plaque so you receive your book on time. We will provide ample instruction on how to apply the plaque to your book. And, we'll cover the cost for ground shipping on the plaque.

With the engraved personalization plaques, you will get a shiny stainless steel plaque with 2 lines of text. 

• 2 lines of text with 34 characters max per line.
