Rap’s Productions, LLC

Roberto /​Rap’s Productions took less than a week to turn around a «rush» custom leather job for my fiancée’s and my father’s special wedding gift.
I called some other places in downtown’s fashion district who worked with leather engraving, and I could have walked to those places (always a perk in LA), but sensed attitude from them at the size of the job (three leather belts debossed with the latitude/​longitude of our venue). Plus they were more expensive.
But Roberto welcomed the job at a fair price, and driving to Downey – which isn’t so bad from downtown – was worth the peace of mind that the job would be done by someone nice AND professional.
Great great service and perfect result.

Great service. Laser engraved a name onto a baseball glove and it looks awesome. Roberto was helpful and stayed late for me to pick up the glove when it was ready.

I needed custom embroidery on a couple of work shirts and Roberto was the guy to do it. Very professional and helpful throughout the whole process.
I will definitely be returning for any later projects.
*Thumbs up*

Raps is the best of the best in town. The quality of work is at a high level and every product is given an equal amount of attention. We have been making custom jackets by Levi’s with them for years now and everyone that gets one loves it. Quality shop here, can’t recommend it enough!

Roberto delivered to us some great, sturdy stencils. To make them, he was very specific with his requests: he asked that we provide him with a vector image straight from our graphic designer in CDR, PDF or EPS format, so that his laser cutter would cut our design at exactly its intended proportions. This was great, since we were stenciling our new logo, and we work in film advertising so we wanted the logo to be consistent throughout all of our branding. Roberto also gave us a choice of material — we could either get less expensive stencils for one-​time use, or slightly more expensive stencils for repeated use. I’m glad we chose the more expensive option, made of sturdier material, because the stencils are great and we’ll likely use them again for another project. Roberto also overnighted them to us and met our deadline. Thanks for your attentive work, Roberto!

Let me start off by saying that Roberto is such a nice guy! I called a lot of companies trying to get a baseball laser engraved and pretty much struck out, pun intended, until I called Rap’s Productions & Roberto said he could do the job. Not only did he do an amazing job on the ball, but did it for a great price! I am one very happy customer and will definitely be retuning in future.

We worked with Roberto from Raps Productions to create laser-​etched boxes and are very pleased with the results! The service was fast & reliable. Most importantly the quality of the laser-​etching turned out great — all details of the intricate design came out nicely. Good job!

First time customer. My company celebrated their anniversary and wanted to give some personalized gifts along with the ipads that were being given as thank you gifts to the employees.
Roberto and his team created a clean, seamless de-​bossed image of our company’s logo on the cover of the personalized ipad cases. I never had the opportunity to meet him or anyone from his team. We conducted business entirely through e-​mail and one phone call. He contacted me every time he needed clarification to ensure he met our company’s needs for creating these gifts. He was up front with costs, (no extra, hidden charges came up during the process,) and the turn around time was spot on.
Thank you Roberto and everyone at Rap’s productions, LLC. The personalized gifts were appreciated by everyone in our company!
We will definitely use you in the future and be sure to recommend you to anyone looking for the specialty your team offers!

I just started working on a small leather collection that uses debossed leather patterns. Luckily found Roberto, because there are not many people out there that can do it. Roberto has been amazing to work with. We are small and taking our time putting the collection together and he has been gracious and patient as we figure it all out. All the debossing he has done has turned out great and he has been very collaborative as we figure out the best leather, treatments and sizes for what we are trying to accomplish.

I’ve been designing and producing couture clothing and gowns for many, many years.
When I added laser artwork to silk charmeuse, I needed a meticulous person that is used to high end work on a small scale. Roberto has an immense resume from St John to big name designers in New York, and he has equipment unique to not only this area, but this part of the world… not only laser but amazing embroidery capabilities. Roberto is a perfectionist, personable and prompt… who could ask for more. His studio/​design building is fastidious and in a lovely, easy to reach area… not in the hassle-​ridden downtown of Los Angeles. Plenty of parking and free! If you have interesting, original or unique design requirements on nearly any material, Roberto can execute your vision… you’ll feel you’re with one of your own. Roberto is not only for the individual or small production, he is capable of production. Roberto is an amazing find!

I am very impressed with speed and professionalism of Roberto and his team. I had 7 sunglasses that I needed individually laser etched, each with unique designs. Response time was quick and Roberto was also able to get them done at a very reasonable cost. He has so many specialties and I will definitely be using him again and would 100% refer him to others.

I can’t say enough to commend Roberto and his staff. This shop is such a find! I needed a place to do a deboss stamp with a gold foil for a high-​end client presentation. This was a super custom, super short run, and it needed to be done the right way. Rap’s Productions did it and did ut well. I’m so impressed with the quality of the work, as well as the customer service. What a cool little place.

I’m an artist who often works with unconventional media, so it was a blessing to find Rap’s Productions. Roberto does commercial (large run) jobs, but is accommodating to custom one-​of-​a-​kind work as well – which is what I worked with him on. I had 5 sets of vertical venetian blinds laser cut on a tight deadline. He not only was willing to work the materials that other laser cutters had said was «impossible» to work with, but he also worked overtime to meet my production deadline.
If you’re an artist or artisan looking for fabrication from an attentive, responsive, and dependable source, then I would HIGHLY recommend contacting Rap’s. He’ll work as hard as you do to help bring your vision to life.
THANKS, ROBERTO!!!
