This listing is for a nameplate added to a new Kinfolk Leather collar or lead. If you would like a standalone nameplate for an existing collar, please see our separate standalone nameplate listing.
Add a personal touch to your dog’s collar or lead with a custom hand-stamped nameplate, made and fitted in our New Zealand workshop. Securely riveted in place, our nameplates keep your dog’s details close at hand without the noise of dangling tags.
Available in solid brass or marine-grade stainless steel, each plate is hand-stamped to order and designed to complement your chosen hardware while standing up to everyday wear.
Why choose a riveted nameplate?
✦ Quiet and secure - no jingling tags or clips to catch
✦ Hand-stamped by hand - deeper and more durable than laser engraving
✦ Made to suit your piece - fitted directly to your collar or lead
✦ Timeless materials - available in solid brass or stainless steel
Text Guidelines
To keep your details clear and easy to read, we recommend keeping text simple and concise.
✦ Up to approximately 15 characters per line (including spaces)
✦ Usually formatted with your dog’s name on the first line and phone number below
✦ All lettering is stamped in uppercase for clarity
✦ Basic punctuation such as “-” and “&” is available
✦ Emojis and decorative symbols are not supported
✦ Please enter phone numbers exactly as you would like them stamped

How To Measure Neck Size
How To Measure Neck Size
Getting the size right means a better fit and a more comfortable collar for your dog. Here's how to measure your dog’s neck so we can make their collar just right - plus tips for growing puppies.
We strongly suggest providing an accurate measurement when placing your order. Old collars can stretch or sit differently, so measuring them often gives an inaccurate size - a quick neck measurement using the guide below will give the best fit.
1. Using a soft tape measure, record the circumference of the neck at the point where a collar would naturally lie. If you don’t have a tape measure, you can use a piece of string, ribbon, or strip of paper, then lay it flat against a ruler to measure the length.
2. Pull the tape so that it is snug but not tight - close enough that the collar will sit securely without slipping over the head, while still remaining comfortable for your dog. Record the measurement.
3. Enter this measurement in the personalisation text box when prompted. This measurement will be the middle hole of the collar, we will add at least another two holes either side.
Puppies - If your dog is a puppy, please let us know and we will make an allowance for growth when sizing the holes for the collar. Please feel free to give us a range (up to 12cm, i.e. 24-36cm) so that we can make sure there are enough holes to suit your dog's growth. We can be very flexible with the number of holes provided in the collar.
