Luxury Desk Set
Personalizing Your Desk Set Nameplate
Most of our desk sets include a nameplate base with a metal plate that is personalized for you. This guide covers what can go on a desk set nameplate, how to enter it when you order, and when the text can still be changed.
Which desk sets include a nameplate
In our ready-made sets the nameplate comes as part of the set. Not every set has one: the four- and five-piece sets and the Cloud sets, for example, do not. The product page shows whether a set includes one; you can also browse all desk sets with a nameplate. On the Chester sets a clock is attached to the nameplate; the clock battery is not included.
A nameplate on its own
Individual pieces, including a nameplate on its own, are available exclusively through Build Your Desk Set; ready-made sets keep their listed contents. If you only need a custom desk nameplate, choose a model there and add just its nameplate piece: there is no minimum, and a desk pad is not required. Most models offer one (Cloud does not), and on most of them it comes as one unit with its pens. The limits, fonts and plate colors are the same. In the tool the name must be entered before the piece can go into your bag. Our page on personalized desk name plates shows what the nameplate unit of each model includes.
What you can personalize
| Option | Details |
|---|---|
| Name | Required, up to 32 characters |
| Title | Optional, up to 36 characters |
| Font | One of eight: Montserrat, Instrument Sans, Lora, Playfair Display, Cinzel, Marcellus, Great Vibes or Allura |
| Plate | Gold or silver |
| Characters | Letters (including accented letters), numbers, spaces and . , ' & ( ) / - |
Each personalized desk nameplate has one line for the name and, if you add it, one for the title. Spaces and punctuation count toward both limits. Other symbols, such as @, #, a colon or quotation marks, are not accepted.
The plate color is chosen separately from the color of the set. Personalization does not add to the price of the set.
How it is made
Your text is printed on a metal plate, which is then fixed to the nameplate base. It is printed, not engraved, and it is produced exactly as you type it. Spelling, capital letters, accents and punctuation are not corrected for you.
To care for the printed plate, do not scrub it, and keep abrasive pads, sharp tools and excess moisture away from it; our materials and care page covers the rest of the set.
How to order
- Choose a set with a nameplate and its color.
- Type the name and, if you like, a title on the product page. You can also leave it for later and add it in your bag. The title is optional: if you do not know it, the name alone is enough.
- Choose a font and a gold or silver plate. The preview is approximate: use it to compare fonts and plate colors, and check the wording in the text boxes.
- Add the set to your bag.
- Before checkout, check each set in your bag: it shows the name, title, font and metal, and you can edit and save them there. A set with a nameplate cannot go to checkout without a name.
Some executive sets also include desk flags. On those sets you tell us which flag you would like: type it in the Desk flag box on the product page or in your bag, in up to 40 characters (a country, state or organization). It is needed before checkout. A set with two flags has one box for both.
Ordering sets for several people
Several personalized sets with different names can go in one order. Add each set separately with its own name; sets in the same bag line share one nameplate text, so for a different name reduce the quantity and add the set again.
For a corporate or larger order, contact us with the sets, colors and quantities you have in mind; logo printing can be requested for such orders. If the sets are gifts, our personalized office gifts page covers choosing a personalized desk set for someone else.
Wording examples
Five ways to word an office nameplate (name line before the slash, title line after it):
- Alex Morgan / Managing Director
- Dr. Jordan Lee / Pediatrics
- Sam Rivera, CPA / Accounts
- Reception / Front Desk
- Taylor Brooks (name only, no title)
These are examples, not real people. For more formats, including credentials and departments, how to shorten a long title, and which font style and plate color suit an office, read what to put on a desk nameplate.
Check before you order
Read each set in your bag once more before you pay:
- Spelling and accents: every letter of the name and the title.
- Capital letters: typed the way they should appear on the plate.
- Punctuation and spaces: the period after Dr., the comma before credentials such as CPA, and no stray spaces.
- Length: whether the title fits on one line of 36 characters; if it does not, shorten the wording.
- Font and plate: the font and the plate color shown for that set.
- Desk flag: on a set with flags, the flag you asked for.
Changing the text after you order
If you notice a mistake after ordering, contact us right away, through the contact form or at info@luxurydeskset.com, with your order number and the exact name and title as they should appear. We can change the nameplate text until the order has shipped; after that it cannot be changed. The limit is the shipment, not a number of days: once your order has shipped, you will receive a tracking number by email.
Items personalized with a nameplate cannot be returned or exchanged; customers in Europe can return other items within 14 days of delivery. If a set arrives damaged, defective or different from what you ordered, contact us promptly; the returns and damaged orders policy sets out the process, including how personalized items are treated.
