  • Today's Feature: LayFlat Albums and Press Books

    Check out a few more details about our new LayFlats!

    Our LayFlats are available in four square sizes (5x5, 8x8, 10x10, and 12x12) and 14 different cover choices.  LayFlat Albums are photographically-printed on the same paper as our Flush Mount Panorama and Hinged Albums, but offer a lighter-weight feel because of the new LayFlat binding process.  By using the same photo paper as our Flush Mounts, our new LayFlat Albums provide the same high-quality image reproduction at a more affordable price.  Printed on smooth cover stock, our LayFlat Books are made of the heaviest hinged paper in the industry.  High gloss can be added to all pages of the new LayFlat Books at no extra charge.  With our variable page option, you decide how many pages you would like to include (10-page minimum/40-page maximum).  You can order them separately at full-list price, or add it as a Companion to your Flush Mount order at a reduced price.  If combining with a Flush Mount, simply upload one design and order both (or all) simultaneously.  See pictures of the new LayFlats, as well as cover swatches below:

  • Today's Feature: Accordion Wallet Books

    In highlighting new products available with the next Remote Studio release, our new Accordion Wallet Books are definitely worth mentioning. One of the more popular products displayed at WPPI, we overwhelmingly heard how great these mini-books would be for marketing – as gifts to clients or as promotional mailers. We think they’ll also be a perfect addition to your Wedding, Baby, and Senior packages because of how easily they fit in your client’s purse! Choose from two sizes (3x3” square and 2.5x3.5” wallet), 17 different cover options, and four paper types (Smooth Cover, Linen, Pearl, and Watercolor). Drop individual pictures or panoramic designs into the image panels when ordering. Check out a few below: 

  • New Notepad Options with Next Remote Studio Release

    We’re one day closer to the release of the new version of Remote Studio!  Check out Today's Feature: New Notepad Options (see picture below).

    In addition to our current Backpack Notepad, we’ll also be offering two new styles – Spiral Notepads and Tear-Off Notepads.  The Spiral Notepads will be available in 2.7x4” and 4x6” with the Tear-Offs in 3x3” square, 4x8”, and 5x8” sizes.  Drop in an image, logo, or text to create your own for marketing use, or sell as an add-on to clients.

     

     

  • New Products - Coming Soon

    The next release of Remote Studio is right around the corner, and as you already know, we’ll be offering a number of new products.  Just to get you ready, we’ll be highlighting a new product each day.

    Today’s Feature:  New CD/DVD Cases

    We’re changing from our current bi-fold and tri-fold CD/DVD cases to a new and sturdier version (see before and after pictures below).  Not only will these be available in Miller’s Press, but they’ll also replace what we currently send out with our Slideshow DVDs.  Besides the durable protective case, you’ll also find that the insert is printed on photographic paper and that the CD/DVD label has been upgraded.  For those still wanting the Bi-fold and Tri-fold cases, you can simply order our 5x5 Folded Greeting Cards or 6-Panel Accordion Cards.  Hubs for holding the CD in place will be sold separately.  Stay tuned for Monday’s Feature – New Notepad Options.
