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
- Step 1
Insert the marker
Slide the matched ink marker into the Rolly handle.
- Step 2
Check contact
Make sure the marker tip sits flush against the engraved roll.
- Step 3
Place it down
Set the roller flat on your surface where the band should start.
- Step 4
Roll smoothly
Roll in one steady motion, the imprint repeats as you go.
- Step 5
Don't press hard
Let the ink do the work. Light, even pressure gives the cleanest band.

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.
