Personalize Your Camera Strap

We are excited to announce new personalisation options along with lower prices so that it's easier than ever to customise your boutique leather camera strap, camera wrist strap and accessories!

At Lucky Straps, we are all about creating beautiful hand-crafted leather camera straps for photographers, videographers, and visual creatives. Lucky Straps leather cross body camera straps are strong (due to the nylon webbing), comfortable, highly versatile and will last a lifetime. What's more, they look amazing thanks to high-quality materials and manufacturing processes. But why stop there? We take it another step further to offer a wide range of customisation options to offer truly unique and bespoke custom leather camera straps.

The process is simple, and you can personalise as much or as little as you want. You have complete creative control to subtly add your initials or go large with a custom business logo embossed on your leather neck strap.  Our goal is to create the best camera strap for each individual photographers needs and personal style.

 

How To Create Your Own Custom Camera Strap or Camera Wrist Strap

You can choose anything you like to go on a camera strap, a name, an inspiring quote, a business name or even a logo. The best part is that it is done in house by our team right here in Bendigo, Victoria. It is pressed into the leather with heat and extreme pressure creating a great look and feel.

 

Creating your personalised camera strap has never been easier!

  • Step 1: Choose Your Leather Camera Strap (range overview)
  • Step 2: Choose What You Want To Emboss (text or logo)
    • Option 1: Text Embossing - choose a font type
    • Option 2: Logo Embossing - choose a suitable file type to upload
  • Step 3: Choose Your Foil Colour

*See below for more detail on each step!

 

Step 1 - Choose Your Leather Camera Strap

At this stage, you should select the type camera strap and colour of leather you want your logo or text to be featured on. To view the full range of our quick release camera straps, check out the following link, which outlines each straps features and style.

Step 2 - Choose What You Want To Emboss

Text or Logo Embossing

First, choose if you want plain text embossing or a custom logo on your leather neck strap or wrist strap. In some cases you can even choose both!

Option 1 - Text Embossing

The number of characters varies with three different options:

  • One to four characters for those who want to emboss their initials. 
  • Five to eighteen for customers who wish to emboss their full name, or 
  • Nineteen to thirty-six to emboss your favourite photography quote.

 

The best bit is that we take the personalisation a step further by offering three unique fonts. Depending on your personal style, the kind of gear you like to carry and your approach as a photographer or videographer, the right font is essential.

The standard text embossing is performed with traditional type sets that are used in bookbinding. Each letter is selected and set in in the block, then heated and finally pressed deep into the leather of your strap.

The choice of fonts says a lot about how a visual creative wants to capture their name, initials or favourite photography quote. Choose from one of the following three fonts:

  • BLOCK (all capitals)
  • Times (case sensitive)
  • Cursive (case sensitive)

BLOCK

Block font is bold and punchy and speaks of confidence. It works well with shorter phrases such as initials.

Times

Times is stylish, informative and takes after the style of photojournalism publications. It works well when wanting to place your first or full name on the leather neck strap.

Cursive

Cursive is flowing and has a classic vibe that is ideal for more extended inspirational photography quotes. 
Cursive font is case sensitive, however we recommend not choosing to emboss in all capitals for text longer than 4 characters. If you wish to use all capitals for your longer embossing requests, consider BLOCK or Times instead.

To further expand on the personalisation options, you have the following choices when embossing your Lucky Straps leather camera strap: 

  • Embossed text is placed in the bottom left corner at the end of the main body of the adjustable length leather strap. 
  • We provide the option to have the text embossed at both ends of the strap or just the one. 
  • You can also choose to have embossing on both ends of the strap, this embossing does not need to be the same.
  • All three font options are traditional bookbinding fonts with some limitations on the available symbols. 
  • Unfortunately, we cannot include emojis, diacritics/accents or @#/_%\. However, we can include standard punctuation such as !-,.?&' $.

 

It is important to note we, unfortunately, cannot take returns of embossed straps unless there is an issue with our artistry.

 

Option 2 - Opt For A Custom Logo To Emboss

Aside from providing a wide range of text embossing options, Lucky Straps offers a truly custom leather neck strap experience. If you're a working photographer, videographer or enthusiast visual creative, embossing your mark on a strap is the ultimate personalisation.

Your mark can be anything from your sweeping signature to a business logo. As a result, clients and prospective clients will see that you're serious about your craft when you show up to your next job. It's a handy way to promote your business while on the job or even just out and about with your camera for fun.

 

Where text embossing uses reversed type-face to emboss, custom embossing takes it to the next level. Here's a breakdown of the process:

  • Shop our site for your preferred Lucky Straps leather neck or wrist strap.
  • Select your strap colour and length.
  • Select Custom Logo as your style of the personalisation.On the product order page you will select Custom Logo as your style of the personalisation.
  • Upload an image file containing your signature, business logo or another brand mark. Please upload the highest resolution file of your logo, ideally a vector pdf or similar.
  • We only need to make the plate once, so you can add the logo to other straps you may order for just $15AUD each!
  • We have a precision-craftsperson who machines a reverse plate with your logo. 
  • We then press your logo into the leather camera straps / camera wrist strap while applying your choice of foil. 
  • The process takes a little longer (four to six weeks), but the outcomes are worth waiting. 
  • We hold onto your custom logo embossing plate in case you want to create additional straps and accessories. 

For more information on custom logo embossing your Lucky Straps neck strap, check out our dedicated page here. 

Your Own Logo

Please be aware that custom logos that are embossed need to be one single colour.

We sometimes have trouble embossing fine lines or fine detail onto straps especially if you have chosen one of our narrower strap options with foil embossing. To help you understand, we have included some examples below of what this might mean for a logo that is multi colour or fine lined.

If your logo is surrounded by small font text, we may also encourage splitting it up, so that the logo can be as big as possible on the strap, while the text can also be larger and easier to see.

In all cases, we will work with you (over email) if we think any alterations might need to be made to complete your custom logo!
