Classic Pocket Money Clip*
This leatherette money clip is a great gift for your colleagues at work and for the occasions in between. Its simple slim fit design makes it a favorite for your pocket during those times you would rather go non-credit, when the evening only calls for a few notes, an ID and nothing else. The Classic Pocket Money Clip measures 2.25"L x 1"W, which is smaller than the phone already in the other pocket, and it comes in black or brown leatherette so it reads as a proper accessory rather than a gadget.
Both ends of the money clip are fitted to metallic attachments designed to fit tightly to one another, so cash placed into the clip will not fall off easily. That is the part that matters. A clip that opens in a pocket is worse than no clip at all, and this one holds what you put into it whether that is folded bills, a couple of cards or a valet ticket you cannot afford to lose.
Personalization is included, and a short name or phrase is engraved on the metallic portion of the clip by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999. One line of roughly four to eight characters is all it takes: a first name, a set of initials, a year, a two-word joke the recipient will recognize instantly. Small engraving on a small object is what turns a practical accessory into something a person notices every single time they reach for it.
This classic money clip serves as a great substitute for a wallet wherever you may go, and it is a natural event favor at corporate functions such as conferences and shareholder meetings. A business can brand a run of them for staff and customers as part of an initiative to thank both for their loyalty. You may also choose the cash clip when you are organizing something personal. It goes well for birthday parties, bachelor events and every kind of social gathering, and it works particularly well as a gift for your groomsmen, so do not forget to personalize it to show your appreciation.

- Two or three initials, for a recipient who prefers a monogram to a name.
- A role and a year, such as a best man or a graduating class, kept inside eight characters.
- A company name or short abbreviation for a conference or shareholder meeting favor.
- A short in-joke, because eight characters is exactly the length of a line that lands.

Which one should I choose
The choice with a money clip is how much of a pocket you are willing to give up, and whether the gift carries a name.
| Classic Pocket Money Clip, engraved | Choose it when the gift should be slim and personal: leatherette in black or brown, 2.25"L x 1"W, with a short engraved line on the metal. |
|---|---|
| The same money clip with no personalization | Choose it for an event handout where no names are going on; it is also the only version that can be returned within 14 days. |
| A traditional bifold wallet | Choose it when the recipient carries a dozen cards and receipts; it holds far more but it never rides flat in a front pocket. |
For anyone who has already given up on the wallet, the engraved clip is the gift; keep the bifold for the people who genuinely carry everything.
Ordering the Classic Pocket Money Clip for weddings and events

Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping; for a wedding, order 3–6 months ahead. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].

What is it made of?

Will the cash actually stay in it?
Both ends of the clip are fitted to metallic attachments designed to fit tightly to one another, so cash placed into the clip will not fall off easily.

Can our company logo be engraved on it?
A logo is handled as a custom order. Email a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]. A logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be engraved on a surface this small.
