Why a Modular Brass Stamp Tray Is a Game-Changer for Leathercraft & Movable Type Storage

If you’ve ever fumbled with a messy drawer full of letter stamps, spacers, and tweezers, you’re not alone. Organizing movable brass type—especially when you use different sizes or layouts—has always been a bit of a pain. That’s why we built this: a modular, stackable, fully adjustable stamp tray that actually works the way you do.

This isn’t about overdesign. It’s about something that feels intuitive the second you slide a brass letter into place.

Designed to Fit the Way You Work

Independent, modular layout Each letter, number, or spacer has its own dedicated slider. You’re not locked into any fixed row—just slide and space the way you need. Whether you're stamping initials or a full paragraph, this tray flexes to fit.

Secure fit—no drift Tiny index marks on the slider rails keep each module snug. Not rock-solid, but solid enough to stay in place even if you knock the tray a little. Way better than trying to fish scattered brass out of a tin.

Premium Materials That Pull Their Weight

Black walnut outer shell
Rich grain, smooth edges, and surprisingly durable. Good enough for your desk, not just your drawer.

CNC-milled aluminium core
Lightweight but strong. Crush-resistant, perfectly aligned, and helps protect your stamps from getting dinged up.

Tempered-glass lid
Clear, dust-proof, and easy to slide open from the side. You can also park it in the rear slot while working for a tidy look.

Three detachable zones
The wooden box, aluminum core, and glass lid come apart for easy cleaning, swapping, or maintenance.

Thoughtful Extras You’ll Actually Use

Adjustable kerning
Move sliders to fine-tune spacing—even if you’re using just a few letters.

Stackable design
Grooved base lets trays nest neatly, so you can build your own tower of type.

Built-in tool channel
Stash your tweezers or park loose type while you arrange your layout.

Pick Your Size

We offer three options based on your stamp height: 7mm, 10mm, and 14mm. You can use one or stack different sizes—it’s all designed to play well together.

Q: Can I use this for numbers or special characters too?
A: Yup. Every module slot works the same for letters, numbers, and spacers.
