Fundamentals

From manufacturing to fashion, Great Britain has a history of producing high quality products.

Folio Albums are made in the UK using a combination of traditional methods and the latest materials, technology and techniques. We ship internationally and you can order and pay for them easily and be reassured that your album will be made in Britain with the care and attention it deserves. We’re proud to say that your album is made in Britain.

We take quality very seriously and we believe that your photographic art should get the treatment it deserves.

Folio Albums will give your work a quality matte finish with a vibrancy and clarity that traditional photographic prints and albums can’t match. Hand bound and encased in fine, natural leather, they open out flat with an almost invisible crease, so each image is on full view. We work hard to create beautiful albums which is why each album is handmade and quality checked throughout the process. We’re confident you and your clients will love the end result.

Our paper is recycled or bought from sustainable sources wherever possible, and we use environmentally friendly packaging that protects your albums while keeping waste to a minimum.

Your album will be wrapped in a sleeve made from natural, unbleached cotton and then carefully placed in a sleek keepsake box made from recycled materials, ready for presenting to your clients.

We all want to be a bit greener, don’t we? We’ll make your album in the UK using as many local suppliers as we can to cut down the jet fuel used to bring it to you. Our pigment based printing process uses less toxic chemicals than traditional photographic prints and there is less waste.

Once your album is ready we’ll ship it to you using UPS’s carbon neutral service. Our website is also PAS 2060 certified carbon neutral.

Our albums are designed to be enjoyed, not just now but by future generations too.

We use fine art, archival quality papers and inks so your clients’ albums will last a lifetime and beyond.

The glue used to make your album is acid free, nontoxic and will not yellow over time.

You won’t need a spreadsheet to work out our prices and we won’t confuse you with a thousand options.

We believe keeping things simple is good for business as clients aren’t confused by the number of choices and are more likely to purchase an album.

We love the simplicity and flexibility of the square format and as our centre crease is almost invisible you can place images across the two pages to give you the option of a landscape layout.

When it comes to ordering we have a simple online store where you can specify and purchase your album in just a few clicks.

To do justice to our albums’ fine art paper, we use the latest pigment-based inks. These archival quality inks and matte paper take colour reproduction to another level that can’t be reached by traditional photographic printing.

You’ll get high resolution with a pure clarity that lasts, even along the crease. Unlike photographic prints, our inks don’t crack and discolour when the page is folded.

Excellent customer service is at the core of everything we do. We know how important it is for you as a photographer and business person to deliver a quality service to your clients. We aim to keep you up-to-date with your album’s progress throughout the entire creation process whilst also turning things around as fast as possible without compromising our high quality standards.

We’re always keen to hear your feedback so if you have any suggestions which could enhance our albums or processes please let us know.
