Rolly

How a logo roller stamp works

A Rolly is a handheld logo roller engraved with your logo or text. You load it with a matched ink marker and roll it across a surface, the imprint repeats as a continuous band for as long as you keep rolling. No repositioning, no print minimums, and you can swap rolls to change the design in seconds.

Five steps to a clean band

  1. Step 1

    Insert the marker

    Slide the matched ink marker into the Rolly handle.

  2. Step 2

    Check contact

    Make sure the marker tip sits flush against the engraved roll.

  3. Step 3

    Place it down

    Set the roller flat on your surface where the band should start.

  4. Step 4

    Roll smoothly

    Roll in one steady motion, the imprint repeats as you go.

  5. Step 5

    Don't press hard

    Let the ink do the work. Light, even pressure gives the cleanest band.

Which ink for which surface?

Match the ink to your material. Acrylic is the safe default, and solvent inks suit specific surfaces.

Artwork tips

  • Use mostly uppercase letters, they transfer most cleanly.
  • Avoid lines thinner than ~1mm and very fine detail.Avoid lines thinner than ~0.04" and very fine detail.
  • Skip ultra-thin, script or heavily decorative fonts.
  • Keep horizontal gaps small for a continuous-looking band.
  • Send logos as vector (.svg, .eps, .ai, .pdf) for the sharpest engraving.
