Product Description

The clamshell box, or more traditionally known as, the ’Solander Box’ it was and still is used to keep antiquarian books safe, but it’s two trays that fold in each other can be used for many other applications.

Our luxury individually hand crafted custom clamshell boxes are made bespoke to your specification and are made using traditional bindery methods. Techniques like double thick walls step jointed and glued are not widely done, but offer you the strongest trays possible. Inset inner covers allow for the tray to nestle into the opposite cover. All small, but important details that highlight H&Co quality.

Each order starts with making your box from scratch (nothing we do is off the shelf). Each board is cut to perfectly fit the contents you want to put inside it. We offer you International as well as U.S paper sizes, but should you require it, bespoke sizes as well.

You have a wide range of cover material options from book cloth and hard waring buckram to luxury leathers and an even wider palate of colours therefore allowing you to find the perfect colour combination.

Lastly and should you require it, is the ability to personalise your clamshell box This can be done with a single line of text on the cover, or your logo stamped into it, to having full colour logos, text or images digitally inkjet UV printed onto the entire cover.

Sizes

How sizes work: All of our products are bespoke and designed to fit exactly the contents that they are going contain. (The size in the description refers to the size of their contents not the box cover size.)

The size of the clamshell box is calculated using their contents as the starting point. We add approximately 2-4mm to the largest item that the box will contain so that you can get access to it, and then we build out from there.

If the box is going to contain say nothing larger than just A4 paper we add a 2-4mm to the size of the paper, then build out the walls of the box from there. If your box is going to contain a mixture of items, then base your size on the largest item your box will contain. Lastly if your clamshell box is going to contain a book, then please carefully measure your book and we will base it around that.

Custom size boxes: As everything is individually hand made, we are able to make custom sizes. You would have to contact us directly to order this, however for an approximate idea on prices, please select the nearest sizes in our options.

Delivery information

Lead times : Our lead times vary depending upon demand and also the complexity of each order. A wide sweeping though not always accurate estimate is that non personalised orders can be turned around from roughly 2 weeks between ordering and dispatch and personalised ones 3 - 4 weeks. For a more accurate and current lead time, please contact us directly.

How will I know when my order is being made? : Once you place your order you will receive a confirmation order from us, at the bottom of that will be the production week we will be making your order in. Expect your order to be dispatched towards the end of that week.

Once it is dispatched, how does it get to me? : We use a courier company (Fedex or DHL) and we use their fastest service. Once your order has been collected from H&Co, you’ll receive an email with a tracking number as well as updates on the progress of your delivery.

More information on cover materials?

To see all cover materials we offer, click here

Buckram is a Rayon cloth with an acrylic coating. Used in libraries around the world, it has been tried and tested over many years and it's success is down to its hardwearing properties. A good outer cover material.

Book Cloth is made from Rayon cloth, is tactile feels natural and looks traditional, however unlike buckram, it does not have a protective coating, which should be considered when using it as an outer cover.

Faux (false) leather is also known as 'vegan leather'. We offer textured and un textured faux leather. Though not quite as robust as buckram, it can be easily maintained and easily foiled and embossed.

The luxury and premium cover option, requiring more bindery work, but for you all the advantages of natural leather. A premium feel that is more durable and hard waring than faux leather or book cloth.

What are the personalisation options?

For more help and information on what personalisation (embossing) options there are, click here.

What is this and why are the prices different?

Each impression requires its own metal tooling plate (die). Certain designs, such as type, require different levels of pressure and heat to embossing logos. Not only is this an extra die cost, but also set up and artworking cost.

For more information on what we mean by this, click here.

For example, centre and top third of the cover. Bottom right hand corner. Dead centre or alternatively, give dimensions.

Occasionally we get reviews some of which you see below.

Review Page

"...From start to finish the procedure, craftsmanship and delivery is second to none. They show off my images so well and the portfolios look so good either on a coffee table or on shelves. An excellent company to deal with. You will not find better."

Brian I (U.K) | Professional Photographer | Drop Back Box

"The design portfolio and box were beautifully made and the execution was flawless. The customer service was incredible and the package shipped to the United States quicker than expected. Designers, these custom portfolios from Hartnack and Company are a great way to stand out to potential employers and design clients! Best career investment I ever made."

Randell (U.S.A) | Graphic Designer | Hidden Screw Post Binder & Clamshell Box

"...it turned out better than I imagined and I can't wait to put it to use. I'm a graphic designer and I've always wanted my own personalised portfolio cover to present my work in. Hartnack & Co offered a range of styles and materials, and I was able to customise my portfolio cover to the way I wanted it. Nick and Jackie were lovely and made the whole process clear and easy. Thank you!"

Susanna (Australia) | Hidden Screw Post Binder

"...I couldn’t possibly be happier. I highly recommend them for anyone’s most important keepsakes. Worth every penny and more! You’ll never regret this quality purchase!"

Curtis C. (U.S.A) | Leather Ring Binders

"Hartnack & Co company really did an astonishing work, and it was a pleasure to work with them. The amount of work and love they put into this piece of art is just unbelievable. I am extremely satisfied with the result, and the shipping to Germany was fast without any complications. Would love to work with them in the future and can only recommend them"

Andrea R. (Germany) | Box File

"Fabulous quality of product. Never seen such detail and finish anywhere else, and the chance to have bespoke design according to requirements was a bonus. Nothing too much trouble, a pleasure to work with. This company certainly knows it's industry!"

Nigel 0. (Ireland) | Leather Portfolio Binder

"...I decided I needed some good quality options to keep the documents safe for my two beautiful Jaguars. This was my first time buying from the Hartnack team and the results were outstanding. Jackie and the entire team couldn't have been more helpful in choosing the right color scheme and materials - even sending me samples to choose from. The file boxes arrived without delay and they are wonderful partners for the car for now and in future years. Now I will have to find another project! Absolutely recommend to anyone with a car worth the attention."

John M. (U.S.A) | Box Files
