tigercosmos Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 <p>What are the top album manufacturers? Looking for premium wedding albums that have a classic and elegant look and feel. Not interested in best look for the money or mass productions you may buy at Target, etc. What would you consider the best? Thank you!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigercosmos Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 <p>I was thinking matted album, beautiful Italian leather... The album itself a masterpiece. No picture cover, possibly simple and elegant emboss or letterpress.<br /> Thank you John & Neil. I'll check out these sites.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick rosen Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 <p>Leather Craftsmen 800 reversible matted album. The product is also available as a premium upgrade. Ask them about that. Don't forget the slipcase.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagesax Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 <p>I have to agree with David Wegwart. I've sold a few White Glove albums. $1000 or more for an album is common.</p> <p>Mary, what is the price range of the album company?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think27 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 <p>Bob - About $195 to $265 for a cover for a 13" square and then add around $5.00 per leaf and then around $3,00-$4.00 per mat depending on whether you get a single, beveled or double or two tone mat. These are Classic albums with quite a selection of cover materials and colors. They also do Digital Storybook albums but I've never seen them. I assume they are top quality though because of the rest of their products. I have 2005 prices on those so they are not up to date. Email me if you want me to look up those prices for you.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
