achristensen Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I just received my first magazine style wedding album and need some ideas for making an elegant enclosure for it. Anyone out there made something like this before? I would also consider a low cost source for folio-type or clam-shell box enclosures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weddings1 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 A few labs offer the "enclosers" Candid 2000 sends the books in a black cloth like cover, Eclipse ( General products sends them in a box with a cloth wrap and Grapi you can get a suit case to carry the albums in for an upgrade.

pamela_follett Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 You may also want to take a look at craft stores or craft websites. You may find something that isn't made specifically for albums, but unique and elegant without being expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiva Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Amy ... go to the finao website: http://www.finaoonline.com Look specifically for "Preview Boxes". This will inspire you. Go to Hobby Lobby or any store that sells creative wrapping papers or "stuff" for fun / creative projects and pick out your materials to cover a nice quality box. I'm sure you can find a box, it's the cover and frills you want / need inspiration for to drive your project forward. Later, when you're rich and famous go to Finao.com and buy products.

achristensen Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Great ideas! William- what beautiful products. I have experience making books from a rare book library where sewing books back together and protecting them in archival enclosures were standard but those were generally just about 18% grey. Great idea to cover the box. I hadn't thought of that. I could make a clam shell box from book board and then cover with some nice fabric. Tiffany, I also like the folders from Candid. Have you ever seen those in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
