Ink & Ember Creations

Custom studio

Ink is the mark. Ember is the heat.

Ink & Ember Creations is a print and laser shop, and a studio that shows the work. Apparel, hard goods, engraving, and gifts — made for a person, then often filmed while they are made.

The name

A readable mark, set with heat.

The name is the method. Ink is the part a person can read — a roster, a date, a dog's name, a line that only makes sense to two people. Ember is the heat that puts it there: the press, the laser, the moment a blank stops being a blank.

Every order starts as a short brief. Who it is for. What it should say. What it should be made of. Then one piece, or a small run, finished when it looks like it belongs to that person. Nothing in the shop checks out. A price is where the quote starts.

Ink. A print you can read — apparel, stickers, UV, a proof on paper.

Ember. A mark left by heat — wood, leather, slate, metal.

On the bench: an xTool M2 — 20W diode, 3W infrared, color print-and-cut, and a rotary — and an xTool O1 for UV, DTG, DTF, and UV-DTF. PVC and chlorine stay out of the laser. UV ink stays off any surface that touches food or drink.

The work

Printing, engraving, gifts.

Three ways a blank becomes someone's. Pick a lane, or open the shop and filter by material.

  • Custom printing

    Cotton by DTG, and DTF for hats, totes, blends, and shoes. Small runs for a crew, a launch, or merch that has to survive a camera and a wash. Stickers, tags, and UV prints have their own filters in the shop.

  • Laser engraving

    Wood, opaque acrylic, leather, and slate, plus surface marks on metal. The beam engraves and cuts what it can hold — boards, signs, journals, and the pieces that show up in the process videos.

  • Personalized gifts

    Ornaments, tumblers, frames, and sets built around a name, a date, or a logo. One person, or a whole table.

On camera

The bench is also the set.

Ink & Ember makes the pieces and the record of making them. Behind-the-scenes footage, material tests, and finished objects live alongside the custom work — for other creators, and for clients who want something that only makes sense for them.

  • Behind the scenes

    The pass of the laser, a powder coat lifting off a tumbler, a proof sitting on the bench. Making the piece and showing how it gets made are the same studio.

  • For creators

    Merch, props, and one-offs that have to read on camera and still hold up in a hand. Send the art. We will say if the machine can hold it.

  • For clients

    The same bench for a gift, a wedding, a shop door, or a crew. A name, a date, a logo — made for that person, not pulled from a cart.

The order

A short brief, then a real object.

Custom made-to-order only. Describe the piece. We confirm the material, the proof, and the price before anything is cut or pressed.

  1. 01

    Send the brief

    The piece you want, the words or artwork, and who it is for.

  2. 02

    Confirm the make

    Materials, a proof, and a price — before anything is cut or pressed.

  3. 03

    We make it

    One piece, or a small run, sent when it is actually finished.

Shop

Sample finishes and starting prices. Printing, engraving, and gifts — a few places to begin. Nothing here checks out. Request a piece and it becomes a custom order.
