the custom portfolio
is an invitation design system in the service of retail businesses and their customers. It consists of two presentation albums
/ the celebration portfolio set is $75.


album 1 /
contains a collection of special celebration and wedding cards. They are displayed with the coordinating pieces that make up a basic wedding package: an invitation/envelope, a response card/envelope, and a thank you card/envelope. Clients may choose an existing design to be developed into a full wedding, or special event package. This album can be geared toward corporate or private clients.

album 2 / is a working resource for creating custom designs. It contains a full collection of exquisite raw materials, displaying mostly handmade and high quality papers from around the world. Clients can see and feel an exciting array of paper samples and mixed media, arranged to help them envision a 'look', a 'feel' based on impressions the materials naturally evoke. Starting with an idea, a piece of paper, or a color preference, card designs can be developed from which your customers can choose. When used together, the album set creates a flexible presentation and interactive tool at point of purchase. This custom service is based on a wealth of exquisite materials combined with a unique, sophisticated and elegant approach to your client's vision.

how it works & specifications / the album itself is a strong, well made, black leather, scrapbook style portfolio. The cover has a window box for the label. Cards are displayed with high quality plastic sheet protectors, and are easily opened. New cards and materials are sent periodically to add or to replace swatches. There is no charge for these supplemental pieces. New card designs are sent to you with as much input as you desire, based on your particular market needs. Wholesale prices for each individual card are sent on a separate sheet, while album 1 has a place next to each card to mark the retail price down. The Celebration Portfolio works best with lots of active interchange between design and retail, which will develop and fine tune successful packages for you and your clients.
