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.}
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)
Variation bound with ribbon:
Variation bound in black leather:
Other color variations:

When an out-of-state client asked us to help her create an elegant, archival album with printed pages, we knew just who to send her to for page printing. Pushdot Studio right here in Portland does the most gorgeous fine-art page printing we've seen, and this book was no exception. The client provided the page layout to Pushdot, they did their printing magic, and we transformed the pages into a custom ribbon-bound album with a personalized letterpress plaque and slipcase. It's one of our favorite pieces we've made this year, thanks to a great client and great collaboration.

We love working with designers and other creative people: they often know what they want, and their finished products tend to come out even better than we first imagined. Take this post bound portfolio for Magmatic NW. They wanted a book they could take with them to show potential clients. They needed it to be large enough to showcase the work, have screwposts so pages could be added and changed easily, and to fit with their aesthetic:
They were pleased with the result, and so were we. We're planning to add a line of made-to-order portfolios to our site in early 2013. Until then, check out this custom graphic design portfolio, custom made clamshell boxes to hold various portfolios, and a few other presentation pieces for architects, photographers and designers.
We just finished up these adorable little fifth birthday party invites (they're based on mini photo books we've made in the past.) Each page of these books has a picture depicting the birthday boy at age 1, then 2, then 3... The last page includes the 5th year picture and the invitation to the party! Each booklet slips inside an envelope to be sent to party guests. We were happy to make them and LOVE the results. Take a look!
