A rivet is a mechanical fastener consisting of a smooth cylindrical shaft with heads on either end. The heads are somewhat larger than the diameter of the hole into which the rivet has been inserted. There are a number of types of rivets: solid rivets, blind rivets, multi-grip rivets, grooved type rivets, Peel Type Blind Rivets, plastic rivets, drive rivets, tubular rivets, etc. Common uses of rivets are to fasten buckles to leather or other material and to provide a decorative way to form and reinforce leather goods.

Foil stamping is the application of foil, a special film-backed material, to material where a heated die is stamped onto the foil, making it adhere to the surface leaving the design of the die on the material. Foil stamping can be combined with embossing to create a more striking 3D image.

Embossing is the process of creating a three-dimensional image or design ductile materials. It is typically accomplished with a combination of heat and pressure. Embossing is an elegant process that changes the nature of the material that has been embossed. More often than not, it elevates the standard and quality of the product.
When debossing an image such as a logo, a title, or other design, it is heat-pressed into the surface of the material with a die, creating depressions rather than raised impressions as with embossing. The same techniques used for embossing — blind, foil, and ink — can be used with debossing to create visual effects and texture. Interested in having your product debossed? Whitman Corporation can deboss any kind of leather with your logo or name.

Silk screening is a printmaking technique that creates a sharp-edged image using a stencil. We often use silk screening to add logos and other graphical images to promotional items, cases, and other custom products. Silk screening allows us to add color to your product versus the stamped and textured look of embossing or debossing.

Bartacking is a type of reinforcement stitching used to fortify stress points in clothing, sporting equipment, uniforms, and a host of other products. The bar tack stitch is a tight zigzag pattern repeated perpendicularly over itself several times to make sewn products stronger, and resistant to tears or rips in the seams.

Forming leather is a process by which the leather itself is acutally manipulated to form a specific shape. Our methods of forming leather are very precise and allow us to develop custom cases and other products which sewing alone cannot accomplish.
