What is the Folio Collection?
Folio Image Box
Fabric, Vegan Leather, Sparkle or Photo Cover
The Folio Image Box is a hand-crafted, clamshell box with a hidden, magnetic closure. The box stays shut even when upright. Choose premium covers like fabric, sparkle, vegan leather or photo-wrap (shown). Optional DVD tray or USB insert. Choose from 6 box depths in sizes 5x7", 8x10" and 11x14".
Prints
Extra Thick or Matted/Mounted
Fill your box with either Folio Prints or Photographic Prints. Folio Prints are press-printed on extra-thick LOFT paper. Photographic Prints can be finished with DIY Photo Mats or Styrene Mounting.
Folio Collection Options
Folio Prints
Sizes
Our Folio Prints are press-printed on 48 point extra-thick LOFT Paper that looks and feels luxurious. We use 6 color inks for a wide color range and smooth skin tones.
Our deepest Folio Box fits a maximum of 65 Folio Prints. To find out how many prints fit in our shallower boxes, see Box Inside Specs.
Double Sided Printing
Folio Prints can be printed on one or two sides. The second side is perfect for a back image, pattern or logo. Six color inks ensure crisper images and smoother skin tones.
Borders
Add an optional black or white border to your Folio Print. Borders create a smaller image opening for your print: 3.93x5.5" image opening on a 5x7" Folio Print, 5x7" image opening on an 8x10" Folio Print, and 7.06 x 10.13" image opening on an 11x14" Folio Print. Available in BRI ROES only.
Photographic Prints
Sizes
Photographic Prints are developed on professional papers: Luster or Deep Matte.
For a polished look, we recommend you mat or mount your prints before presenting them in a Folio Box.
DIY Photo Mats
DIY Photo Mats are self-assembled using your own adhesive. These buffered, acid-free mats are available in white only and sold in sets of 10. The 8x10" mat fits a 5x7" print. The 11x14" mat comes in 3 window openings: Small fits a 7x10" print, Medium fits an 8x10" print, and Large fits an 8x12" print.
Styrene Mounting
Styrene Mounting is one of the best mounting options for 5x7" prints and larger. Styrene is a rigid plastic mounting board with a white surface. Adds 1-2 days to the turnaround time.
