Hartnack & Co

Hartnack & Co makes handmade pilot logbook binders, leather document holders and personalized storage cases. Based in Devon, United Kingdom, the company creates made-to-order products for people who want to keep important records in a physical format. Its aviation range focuses on binders for pilots who use digital flight logbooks but also want printed copies of their flying records. The company works with leather, book cloth and other materials to create individual designs.

Pilot Logbook Binders

Pilot logbook binders are an important part of the Hartnack & Co range.

Many pilots now record their flight hours using digital applications such as LogTen, PilotLog and MyFlightBook.

Hartnack & Co makes binders that allow pilots to keep printed copies of these records.

A physical logbook can serve as a backup to digital information. It also provides a way to keep flight records together in a format that can be handled and reviewed without opening an application.

The company's products include ring binders, screw post binders and logbook binders with matching slipcases.

These designs give pilots different ways to organize their printed flight history.

Printing Digital Flight Records

Hartnack & Co also provides information about printing flight records from LogTen Pro.

Pilots can print pages using a home printer and place them in a suitable binder.

Unlike a permanently bound book, a ring binder allows new pages to be added whenever flight records are updated.

This approach can be useful for pilots who continue recording new flights in a digital application.

Printed records may also be prepared for a pilot interview or kept as a personal record of flying experience.

The binder provides a dedicated place for these documents.

Handmade Leather and Personalization

Hartnack & Co makes its products to order.

Available materials include genuine leather, faux leather, buckram, book cloth and vegetable-tanned leather.

Some binders use full-grain leather that is hand cut and finished to retain its natural texture.

The company also provides personalization through digital UV printing and other decorative methods.

Products can be created with individual colours, artwork and other details.

The range includes leather-covered binders, matching slipcases and custom document storage boxes.

Other Bespoke Document Products

Beyond aviation, Hartnack & Co produces presentation binders, portfolios, guest books and storage boxes.

Its range includes clamshell boxes, drop-back boxes and leather-covered box files.

Ring binder mechanisms are available in sizes from 25mm to 100mm.

The company can also create sets containing a pilot logbook, a separate binder for supporting documents and an album for photographs.

These sets allow different records to be stored together.

For pilots and aviation enthusiasts, Hartnack & Co provides a practical way to preserve flying history. Its handmade logbook binders combine physical record keeping with personalized materials and designs.
