Clamshell Boxes

Clamshell boxes (sometimes known as Solander cases) are book-form cases traditionally used to store precious books, manuscripts, maps, and are often used by archivists and libraries. Our clamshell boxes provide a stunning display element for your albums and books, and also protect their contents from dirt, dust, and light. We make them in all of our cloth colors, and you can order them with or without a personalized letterpress printed plaque.   

An example of a custom clamshell box built to display fine letterpress invitations:

Slipcases

Our slipcases are five-sided boxes into which you can "slip" your album or book. They add a valuable layer of protection against dirt and dust, and can coordinate nicely with your book's design. Our slipcases come in five sizes, all the same cloth colors as our albums and books, and can be ordered with or without a personalized plaque.  

Well then, what are clamshell boxes? {Contact us to enquire about custom-sized slipcases.}

Square Wedding Albums

A Perfectly Sized Album in Many Colors

Lately our clients seem to be ordering the 10 x 10 album more than any of our other books. The size is great -- big enough to hold multiple 4x6's per page, yet small enough to fit comfortably on your lap. Below are some of the recent variations we've made:

Set of three albums, each in a different color: (rye, quinoa, birch)

Guest Books with Blank Pages

Blank Pages in Guest Books = Creative Guests!

Here at HSS we're big fans of guest books with blank pages. Lines are confining, and usually result in guests signing only their name and address. (Bo-ring!) We find that when guests are faced with a blank page, they often rise to the occasion, writing heartfelt notes and even drawing pictures. Here's a peek inside a full wedding guest book with blank pages:

Warm wishes, funny greetings, and kid drawings. What could be better?
