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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

50th Anniversary Album

Memorable 50th Anniversary Gift Our friend Josh recently asked us to make a 50th wedding anniversary album for his parents. We then had the pleasure of meeting his folks when they visited our studio yesterday. They brought along their album, which had been filled with photos from their years together, including their recent family trip [...]

Personalized Guest Book

Guest Books for Weddings, Memorials, Anniversaries, and More When wedding season comes around, we find ourselves making more guest books. We think, though, that guest books are also a great way to preserve memories and personal notes from any event. What to look for in a guest book: Do you want your guest book to [...]

The soft ribbon binding coordinates wonderfully with the gorgeous photos inside. Thanks, Melissa and Kerri, we hope this happy couple loves their album.
