Portfolio Cover Inset

Digitally Printed Insets on Custom Portfolios

When our clients want clean, professional personalization, we often create digitally printed inserts on portfolios and books. To do this, we carve out a section of the bookboard before we glue the cover cloth in place. Our clients can then print their logo or artwork onto cardstock, and we can secure it into place on the book's cover. The recessed area provides a frame for the printed card, but also added protection against fingerprints and repeated viewings.

Simple, yet elegant!

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.

CD and DVD Portfolios

CD and DVD Folios Handmade by HSS

Molly and I are big believers in the beauty and experience of printed photos in an album, but many wedding couples these days are opting to receive all of their wedding photographs on a disk. Is there a way to store and present these disks that complements the beauty of the images they store? Why yes, there is, and we make it!
