Product Description

What makes our slipcase so special is the way they are made. All are individually hand crafted around what they will hold. Traditional bindery techniques like double laminated grey board walls that are then step jointed and glued are not widely practised but they offer you the strongest box made form board. Not all slipcases, unless they’re from the most traditional of bindery’s, offer interior fabric lining. All of these are standard H&Co practises.

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. There is also the option of having half moon ‘finger notches’ cut into the sides of the slipcase, so that they book can be easily accessed (Not available on leather bound slipcases)

As all are bespoke, each is made around the book or binder they will eventually house, so we will either be making your album or binder or we will need to know what the size is. Our prices are based around an approximate size of the slipcase and not an exact size as this depends on the book or binder.

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.)

A slipcase is built around its contents. If it is a portfolio binder that we are making, then we only start to build the slipcase once the portfolio has been made and then we build it around that.

If you would like us to build a slipcase for a book, ideally we would prefer to have the book in hand. If that is not possible, then we would need very accurate measurements of the book.

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.

Since 2013 we've been lucky enough to have had a long list of happy and content customers. One of the perks of what we do is to receive letters of thanks from people once they have received their deliveries and the joy that it gave them.

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."

Custom made metal disks (UV printed and CNC cut) inserted into the cover and the spine (Recess cut to size and shape)

Customisation

In order to recreate the look of the vehicle, we created a recess into the cover into which was placed a board, which was covered with Orange book cloth so that it remained flush with the rest of the leather cover. On either side of this we placed 'chrome' edging which we also used on the box which again reflected the Chevy Blazer.
Further recess's were then cut into the covers and spine so that the custom made logo disks could be placed in. Brass pulls were also added on the spines.

Customisation

In order to recreate the look of the vehicle we found the closest matching camouflage material. We then had to convert this into a book cloth by placing a special paper backing onto it so that it could be glued onto the book board. This was then placed onto board which was the placed into a recess on the front cover so that it remained flush with the rest of the leather cover.
Further recess's were then cut into the covers and spine so that the custom made logo disks could be placed in. Brass pulls were also added on the spines.
