Screw Post Portfolios

Probably the most popular binding for portfolio books is the  screw post binder. Quite simply they are the closest thing you can have to a bound book, whilst retaining the flexibility of being able to change the contents at will. Screw posts can vary in length, so your portfolio can accommodate anything from 5 pages to well over 100.
There are a number of different styles of screw post portfolio available to you. The Exposed Screw Post Portfolio is simple and flexible, while the Case Bound Portfolio and Hidden Screw Post Portfolio have fixed spines so appear more like books.
For those working with custom sized paper, remember everything we make is individual and bespoke, so we can make to any paper size you require.

    •  - Versatility. The Exposed Screw Post portfolio is a really versatile binder, mainly because its capacity is not constrained by having a spine cover. Different volumes of pages can be accommodated simply by swapping over the screw post lengths.
       - Size. As each portfolio is individually made, we can accommodate any size of media including A6, A5, A4, A3 & A2. Simply select the size of the page that is closest to the one you need and then let us know in the comments section the exact size of the page or media that you are placing inside the portfolio and we will make an exact fit for you.
       - It's Bespoke To Your Requirements. As mentioned above we can make your portfolio to any size and any configuration. If there is a particular colour, feature or embellishment you want that's not featured in any of these tabs, just ask. 
      - Help. If you are having any problems when placing your order, please feel free to contact us directly. We can't take payments over the phone, but we can certainly help you with placing your order.

      - There is however a one off charge for using a non standard/stock material
      - For the outer cover we strongly suggest you use either a buckram or faux leather as these can be wiped clean. Windsor and Colorado book cloths can not!

Anything stamped must be in black (not greyscale or colour) on a white background. No JPEG's or PNG files please. Our finished artwork specification can be found here. 

      - How is it done? We use the artwork you send us, or that we set out. to create a metal (magnesium) stamping die (picture below) which we attach to our stamping press and then create an impression on to the cover of your portfolio.
                magnesium dies
      -  Where. Your personalisation can be placed anywhere you like. In order to do this we make a metal die of your name/logo. We can also use the same die to stamp, to make a second stamp to stamp the same thing elsewhere, i.e. On the spine (cost £20.00).

      -  Can I have more than one? Yes, you can have as many personalisations as you like, but each will require a new die and therefore an extra charge  

      -  What are my personalisation options? There are 5 options. They are:
      -  Blind Deboss - Heavy impression with no colour.
                                 Blind deboss example

      To get an update delivery time and cost please click this link.
    • - Size? Is based on the size of the media being placed inside the portfolio or binder. We work on generic international and US sizes, but can make to any size. If the size of the media is not mentioned here we will either ask you to pick the closest size we feature (for pricing purposes) and then you can tell what size the media is, or will make out a special order for you.
       - Orientation? Portrait means the media sits vertically and is bound along the long edge.
      Landscape means the media sits horizontally and is bound along the short edge.
       - Protectors, Sleeves or Hinge Strips? This is important for us to know. If your page is being placed in page protectors/pockets, then we must allow for the cover to be larger height and width. Also our H&Co pockets maybe a different size to other suppliers, which is why we ask this question.
      If using file or hinge strips, your portfolio will be narrower but longer than page protectors. . 
      - Help? If you are having any problems when placing your order, please feel free to contact us directly. We can't take payments over the phone, but we can certainly help you with placing your order.
      - What length of screw post?. The length of the posts depends on how much is being placed inside the portfolio. A standard width of 2cm fits approximately 25 page protectors in it.
      Hartnack & Co
      • -  Classic Binder Cover With a Sophisticated Screw Post Binding.  The case bound portfolio is so called because the cover is 'full case'. Unlike our other portfolios which have covers that separate, this one does not.
        The case bound binder is just like a book or traditional binder with fixed front cover, spine and back cover, giving it a very clean and traditional look.
        Where it differs of course is the screw post binding system, which binds the edges of the pages tightly together just like a bound book. This also means that the pages turn like a bound book with no physical manoeuvring over a metal binder. The screw posts are easy to access and the binding is also hinged to the back cover which makes for easy reading - In all easy to use, but with a premium and luxury feel to it.

        -  Any Size or Format.  What you see in the pictures is an A4, portrait portfolio with a standard 2cm spine, but it could be in any size including A6, A5, A4, A3 & A2 and all the U.S. sizes in between. In any format and with any spine width from 1cm to 15cm. 

        -  Bespoke To Your Requirements.  Just like a bespoke suit or dress, this item is custom made just for you. This means that the size, the outer colour, the inner colour whether it has internal pockets or not is completely up to you.

         -  Need Help.  Hopefully all answers you'll need are in the tabbed section above, but if by any chance you have any further questions or any problems, then please feel free to call us.

            -  Texture. The texture of these two leathers differ in that the 2.5mm has a lot of texture and the 3.5mm has a lot less. That said!! This is a generalisation, as each batch of leather can vary in texture. portfolio leather texture comparison
            - Leather Colour. The 3.5mm is available in brown and black...
                        3.5mm brown leather sample   3.5mm black leather sample

            mid brown 2.5mm leather sample dark brown 2.5mm leather black 2.5mm leather
            -  Provenance & Process.  We source our leather from a UK wholesaler who in-turn sources directly from a tannery in Italy. Our hides are bovine (cow) hides, full grain (top of the skin down) that have been vegetable 'veg' tanned and dyed through. The hides are 'tumble finished', which means they are placed in a large drum and then gently spun or "tumbled" for a period of time. This process breaks down the fibres in the hide, not only making it slightly softer, but also making the surface of the hide more textured. The thinner the hide, the more textured it is becomes.
            - Worth Mentioning.  We use "non corrected grain" hides. (they have not had a false skin grain stamped into the surface). Therefore while we do out best to ensure that we use the best surface available on the front cover, certain skin marks (stretching, bites and scars) may be apparent.
            Also, being natural (non corrected) hides, some hides might be more textured (or less textured) than others.
            We have a more comprehensive page on leather here.
          • -  Back Inner Cover.  This part of the portfolio holds the binding mechanism in place, so is an integral part of the portfolio.
            This has to have a cover on it and there is a wide variety of fabrics and materials to do this with. The fabric swatch can be found here. H&Co Fabric Swatch. 
            - Front Inner Cover. We offer this as either covered or uncovered, as below. If you choose covered it will be in the same material as you choose for the back cover.
            Leather portfolio with inner covers covered  leather portfolio with no inner cover
            -  We recommend buckram book cloth if you are looking for something hard waring as it can be wiped clean. Windsor and Colorado book cloth can mark and are certainly not water resistant.
            -  If you are in doubt about any of the fabric colours or textures, we will happily send you out samples. Just use the Contact Us button on the top Menu bar and request what you would like to see. 
          • -  How. There are 2 options open to you regarding your personalisation. Either we can set out your wording using one of our house fonts, which can be found here. 
            Alternatively, you can send us finished and ready to use artwork in the form of an .ai or .eps (vector) file. Our finished artwork specification can be found here. 
            -  Where. Your personalisation can be placed anywhere you like on the cover.
            -  Can I have more than one? Yes, you can have as many personalisations as you like, but each will require a new die. A die is a metal plate we get made that stamp into the leather and therefore an extra charge will apply.  
            -  What are my personalisation options? There are 2 options on having your folder personalised. They are:
                          blind deboss personalisation on leather gold foil personalisation on leather portfolio cover

            -  If there is something you would like, but isn't available, please ask.
          • -  Our process runs as follows. Your order enters the production queue the moment you check out. Within a few minutes of having placed an order, you will receive via email, an Order Confirmation sheet. At the bottom of this page you will find an expected despatch date. (Please make sure you reply to this email as it ensures we have understood your order correctly and will not start making your order until we have this confirmation).
            -  For current lead times between ordering and dispatch as well as shipping costs please click on this link: Delivery lead times and shipping costs.
          • - Size? Is based on the size of the media being placed inside the portfolio or binder. We work on generic international and US sizes, but can make to any size. If the size of the media is not mentioned here we will either ask you to pick the closest size we feature (for pricing purposes) and then you can tell what size the media is, or will make out a special order for you.

             - Orientation? Portrait means the media sits vertically and is bound along the long edge.
            Landscape means the media sits horizontally and is bound along the short edge.

             - Protectors, Sleeves or Hinge Strips? This is important for us to know. If your page is being placed in page protectors/pockets, then we must allow for the cover to be larger height and width. Also our H&Co pockets maybe a different size to other suppliers, which is why we ask this question.
            If using file or hinge strips, your portfolio will be narrower but longer than page protectors. 
             
            - What width spine?. This refers to the thickness of what is being placed inside the portfolio. Our standard spine width of 2cm, fits approximately 25 page protectors in it. If you feel this wont be big enough and would like something thicker, than this please let us know on the order.

              Hartnack and co house fontsAlternatively, you can send us finished and ready to use artwork in the form of an .ai or .eps file. It must be right reading. Anything stamped must be in black (not greyscale or colour) on a white background. No JPEG's or PNG files please. Our finished artwork specification can be found here.

              -  Can I have more than one? Yes, you can have as many personalisations as you like, but each will require a new die and therefore an extra charge

              What Are Screw Posts?

              Probably the most popular ways of binding a portfolio are screw posts.

              They consist of a threaded tube into which the screw head is fitted. By placing hole punched pages or page protectors through the tubes and then capping of the other end, you get tightly bound pages, so that your portfolio works like a bound book.
              Posts are available in different lengths and are easy to use.
              The link below takes you to a page that shows you how to fill a screw post portfolio.

              Ring Binder Portfolios

              The traditional ring binder; flexible and very easy to use. With matt black ring binder mechanisms, they are also that bit more exclusive as well. It is an ideal portfolio choice for those with ever changing contents who don't want the hassle of the screw post mechanism. They're also very easy to present when using a large volume of work.
              There is a choice of two ring binder folders; the fully case bound fabric over board option which we simply refer to as a Ring Binder and the Leather Ring Binder.
              The leather ring binder is available in either the 3.5mm thick leather or the 2.5mm textured leather in either black or brown.

              Leather Portfolios

              We use the finest Italian full grain, veg tanned leather in our portfolios. It is available in 3.5mm or 2.5mm, brown  or black as either a Leather Screw Post Portfolio or Leather Ring Binder Portfolio.
              Both leathers have been 'tumbled' which softens the veg tanned hides and,  as typical with a natural organic product, some hides have more texture than others. The 2.5mm leather being thinner has more texture than the 3.5mm leather. With either choice, leather makes for an incredibly tactile and wonderful smelling portfolio!
              Due to the physical size of the hides, the largest portfolio we can accommodate, is an A2 Portrait.

              Portfolio Boxes

              Whether it's a print portfolio box or a presentation portfolio box, you can design a clamshell box that is completely bespoke to you. This is a popular choice among graphic designers, as this allows them to present their ideas in style.
              Your portfolio box can be made to fit any size of paper you wish and can be any depth required. Your box can be also be personalised.
              There is a choice between a Full Clamshell Box which has two trays or a Half Clamshell Box which has one tray and a lid. The later has a magnetic closure and is actually ideal as a portfolio box. We can also fit a ring binder mechanism in either styles to produce a Ring Binder Box File.
