Description
The “Better Than Leather” or BTL line offers a bit more durability and flexibility than the fabric covered portfolios. We use a very high end material that we believe is better than real leather for many reasons: It won’t stretch out, it won’t scuff, it won’t stiffen or crack, it can be cleaned with soap and a damp cloth and most stains can be easily removed with an alcohol based solution and it is a vegan and cruelty free product so you can rest assured that your portfolio will serve you for many years.
This horizontal or landscape format Coffee Table Style Portfolio has the look of a hardcover case bound book yet still has the screw post component that allows for the easy exchange of pages. The hinge system is a bit different on the BTL portfolios in that there is only one hinge for the screw posts, rather than the 2 that are on the fabric covered portoflios. For functionality we eliminated the second hinge that flapped over to cover the screw posts. The thickness of this portfolio is fixed however pages can still be taken in and out. Spine spacers can be used to make up for any extra space left from the removal of pages. We suggest ordering your portfolio to fit the maximum thickness of pages you expect to use. You willl choose the thickness of the stack of pages going into your portfolio from the drop down menu above. If using your own pages, you will need to select a specific measurement or if purchasing pages with us please instruct that the portfolio is built to fit the pages that you ordered.
While most portfolios available on the market have flimsy paper liners or endsheets, these are lined entirely with the high quality BTL or linen bookcloth of your choice. The BTL or cloth is carefully wrapped around a thin board so there are no unfinished edges that can pull up, wrinkle or fray. This a very sharp portfolio that is sure to impress. If you do not order any pages with your portfolio, a template for punching holes into your own pages will be sent with your order.
The actual page size that fits this portfolio is 8 1/2″ x 11 7/8″ with a visible/useable area of 8 1/2″ x 11″
All portfolios are handmade to order and will be covered in your choice from the “Better Than Leather” line . You can choose to have your portfolio covered entirely in one BTL color or you can choose to order a multi color portfolio, one color for the cover and a second color for the inner liners. You may also choose to have the liners covered in one of the available fabrics. Storage and presentation pockets are available in a variety of styles and orientations and can be added to any portfolio.
Debossing and Foil Stamping are available for the “Better Than Leather” portfolios. Please see the color chart to see which options are available for your covering choice. You can add one of these unique personalization options to your portfolio in the personalization and accessories sections of the online store.
If you are interested in a protective presentation box to house your portfolio just order an 8 1/2 x 11 x 1” box in any style and from the drop down menu choose that you’d like the box to fit the portfolio that you ordered and your box will be built fit the portfolio. At this time boxes are only available in the fabric options, they are not available in “Better Than Leather”.
