Safeguard precious memories in style with our matted print box

Whether we print your client’s favourite photos on our archival-quality fine art paper or you have them printed elsewhere, they deserve to be stored in a beautiful presentation box and enjoyed for years to come. Our print boxes are perfect for this, and as you can order them without prints, they make lovely keepsakes for other treasures that your clients will love.

We handcraft each presentation box in our workshop in Yorkshire. This means that the quality is exquisite, and we can accommodate bespoke requests for different sizes and configurations.

Matted Print Box for Photographers

Filled with memories, a luxury handmade fine art print box is designed to store your cherished images forever.

Discover the features of the Matted Print Box

Enhance your print presentation with our exquisite Matted Print Box, designed to showcase your finest work with elegance and style. Available in two sizes, 10x8" and 12x10", this box is handmade with bespoke options to suit every photographer's needs.

Mats in two styles

Frame-friendly mats or double-matted prints

Our Matted Print Box offers two distinct mat styles to suit your presentation needs:

Frame-friendly mats

Designed for versatility and ease of display, our frame-friendly mats are perfect for clients who wish to frame their prints. Each mat is crafted from high-quality, 1.4mm conservation board, providing a sturdy yet elegant border that enhances the visual appeal of your prints. These mats ensure that your photos are protected and beautifully presented, making them ready for framing without any additional adjustments. The Matted Print Box can hold 25 frame-friendly mats.

Double-matted prints

For a truly luxurious presentation, our double-matted prints offer added thickness and durability. These mats feature an additional layer of conservation board on the back, doubling the thickness to around 3mm. This style not only provides extra protection for your prints but also creates a more substantial and tactile feel, ideal for showcasing on a coffee table or as a standout display piece. The double-matted option is perfect for clients who want a handling-friendly and impressive way to present their cherished images.

Both mat styles are designed to complement our fine art prints, ensuring your work is displayed with the highest quality and professionalism. Whether your clients prefer the frame-ready convenience of the frame-friendly mats or the luxurious feel of the double-matted prints, our options provide flexibility and elegance for every occasion. The Matted Print Box can hold 15 double-matted prints.

Secure and Stylish Closures

Modern magnet or show ribbon?

Print Boxes come with either a magnet or a show ribbon closure. For clients with contemporary tastes, a magnet closure is very clean and streamlined. The show ribbon combines the magnetic closure with a ribbon bow fixed to the closing flap with the traditional feel of a ribbon bow.

Magnetic closure

A hidden magnetic closure on a Print Box offers a sleek and modern look, ensuring easy yet secure access to its contents. This type of closure adds a touch of contemporary elegance and functionality, creating a satisfying click that feels secure every time it's closed.

Show ribbon closure

The show-ribbon closure combines the timeless elegance of a ribbon with the practicality of a magnetic seal, offering both aesthetic charm and secure locking. Featuring a ribbon elegantly affixed to the box's lid, this design enhances the visual appeal of the box, making it not only easy to use but also pleasing to the senses.

Elegant and eco-friendly satin ribbon

Add a touch of elegance to your Print Box with our luxurious satin ribbon, available in a selection of 10 beautiful colours. Each ribbon is carefully chosen to complement the high-quality materials and craftsmanship of our Print Boxes, ensuring a refined and stylish presentation.

Our satin ribbons are not only visually stunning but also environmentally conscious. Made from recycled plastic bottles, these ribbons exemplify our commitment to sustainability without compromising on style. The soft sheen and smooth texture of the satin add a sophisticated finish to your Print Box, making it a perfect gift or display piece.

Choose the perfect satin ribbon colour to personalise your Print Box, knowing that you’re making a choice that is both elegant and eco-friendly.

Please note that swatch colours are a guide and may vary from the actual material colour. It's inadvisable to rely on screen reproduction of colours and textures. Please speak to us about samples.

Personalisation. For those small, elegant details

Make every box unique

To ensure boxes are even more personal to the recipients or specific to your brand, we can personalise them inside or out with text, bespoke motifs or studio logos. You can add names, a date, a meaningful phrase, or a calligraphy motif of the couple’s initials, which is perfect for a wedding memory box and special occasions.

We can apply these with traditional techniques, such as debossing or foil blocking onto most products, or with modern high-tech methods, such as laser engraving and cover printing using UV print methods. We can also use bespoke fonts and our wide selection of standard fonts.

Lid Text

Enhance your Matted Print Box with bespoke lid text. Personalise each box with your client’s names, their special date, or a meaningful message, adding an elegant and sentimental touch that will keep the memories of their special day alive for years. 

Offered in various fonts and styles, the custom text turns each Print Box into a treasured memento, meticulously crafted to your exact specifications.

Studio Logo

Elevate your wedding photography services by featuring your studio logo on Matted Print Boxes. Showcasing your logo enhances your professional presence and showcases your attention to detail, affirming the high quality of your service.

For portrait photographers, embedding your logo on a Print Box goes beyond simple branding; it signifies your skill and dedication, making a memorable mark and indelibly connecting your name with the treasured memories you’ve meticulously preserved.

Bespoke Client Motifs

A bespoke motif on a Matted Print Box adds a unique, personalised touch. This can include custom fonts, a graphic element from the wedding stationery, or the couple’s monogram.

Selecting a bespoke motif for the box allows you to reflect the couple’s individuality and style, transforming their Prints Box into a truly one-of-a-kind keepsake of their special day.

FAQs

Why don't we offer USBs?

At Folio Albums, our mission has always been to provide the highest quality products that preserve and showcase your cherished memories in the most meaningful way. Over the years, we’ve found that printed images offer a timeless, tangible connection that digital files simply can’t match.

While USB keys once served as a convenient method for storing and sharing digital photos, they come with limitations. Digital storage devices can become obsolete, corrupted, or lost over time, and they lack the emotional and aesthetic impact that a beautifully printed photograph provides.

Do we also produce wedding albums?

Although digital-only services increased in popularity with the surge in digital camera technology, we are seeing a return to physical and printed imagery. We’re hearing horror stories of digital files being misplaced or accidentally deleted, resulting in client’s memories being lost forever. This is why we’re passionate about high-quality print and why we specialise in producing the finest wedding albums. We’ve also worked with professional photographers to create all sorts of wonderful photo albums, from the arrival of a little one and family gatherings to boudoir portraits and corporate gifting. 

Production time

We aim for fast delivery and don’t compromise on our quality. Matted Print Boxes are produced within 10 working days from the day we receive your files. If you require a specific delivery date, please get in touch, and we will do what we can to meet your requirements.

After much research I chose to use Folio Albums as the sole supplier of my weddings albums. I have been using them for around 8 years now. They are made in the UK, are fantastic quality and the customer service is second to none. All of my couples love their albums. Highly recommended!

Folio Albums are the very best. They recently helped me with a large, bespoke print order, with a very short turn around time. I was feeling stressed at the thought, but upon contacting the team directly, they made things so easy. They gave me clear and concise directions to prepare my images ready for print. They offered advice on the paper choice and print finishes. I was updated throughout the whole process, the communication was exceptional. The prints arrived comfortably before my deadline and they are absolutely beautiful. The colours and the tone are more lovely than I thought possible. I will recommend them to everyone. Thank you Harry + Team.
