Clamshell Box

The clamshell box is a stunning way to hold a book or loose prints.  Constructed with wood walls, this sturdy product is strong enough to ship or drop while handsome enough to be presented in a meeting.  It is built with 6 wood walls, 3 on the front piece and 3 on the back, that overlap when the clamshell is closed.

The cover can be designed to close completely flush, or for a more antique boundbook look, the cover can have a 1/8 lip overhang over the sides of the walls.  Any material can be used to cover the clamshell and many other details and options of our other products can be applied to this case.  For instance, a business card pocket can be applied to the back cover so that when the contents are removed there is still the business card waiting to be reviewed.

An extensive range of stamping options is available on the case using any font or logo in any color – as well as any placement...front cover, back cover, lining, spine, etc.  It is typically in the artwork that our customers express their creativity and personal style in the presentation.

The clamshell box is one of our most popular products. While the style may be a standard, it is made by hand and  the quality and craftsmanship become evident quickly.  Whether a stack of prints or a compilated album or portfolio, the clamshell box is flexible in its variety of uses.
