Tips For Choosing Suede & Velvet For Albums, Books & Boxes
A Growing Popularity For Suede & Velvet Cover Materials
Each year we conduct a thorough survey amongst a wide range of professional photographers to find the most popular materials and colors for finishing lab products such as albums, books and boxes.
To put this in perspective, our new Suede & Velvet colors were meticulously selected from over 600 samples. Only the best made the cut. These new swatches tap into contemporary trends that have a proven track record of sales from our suppliers. This in turn guarantees a high probability of easily closing sales with your own clients. The colors are so elegant that they practically sell themselves.
Velvet
The materials elicit a feathery sensation when stroked and shimmer underneath light like something out of a fashion runway show. Holding such an album feels daringly aristocratic.
Suede
The trimmed hairs of the faux suede offer a similar pliability to classic leather but with a dash of warmth that is often more inviting to embrace. They make great sample albums to keep on hand for catching attention alongside your standard repertoire of leathers and leatherettes.

So far feedback has been wildly positive. These materials embody a thrill of luxury and elegance. They shamelessly encapsulate that high-society feeling of grandeur that is intoxicating to so many wedding brides.
With a variety of colors and embellishment options, you can also leave a legacy that is unique for every family.
Their soft touch can also play to a more adorable clientele amongst newborn and maternity clients.
Compared with other styles, these contemporary suedes and velvets are more popular among the youth for celebrating quinceaneras.
Due to the unique tactile sensation of caressing the suede & velvet material, boudoir photographers can sell an intimate product that’s perfect for their clients.

Make Your Album Unique
Impress your clients with something that they can only get from you. Add names, memorable dates or personal messages on suede & velvet material. Additionally, you can add your studio logo on the flysheet to leave a signature of your artistry with pride. It’s a great way to promote your work amongst friends and family of your clients. Best of all, pre-designed embellishments are freely available to personalize, so you don’t need to be a designer yourself.
