I moved all my album sales to Folio. I now only offer them as their albums are just simply the best. Incredible customer service and quality. I’ve tried others and no one else compares.

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.

Secure and Stylish Closures
Modern magnet or show ribbon?

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.

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.
