Packaging
We are introducing AN UPDATED LOOK for standard packaging. Beginning in mid-May, we will wrap every album in an elegant soft grey fabric bag and close with an embossed silver sticker. Your album is protected from bumps with white tissue and comes nestled in our current charcoal album box.
The sticker is easy to reposition and allows you to open, inspect, and re-box an album before delivering. These US-made bags can continue to protect albums or be repurposed by your client. The packaging for all your Finao albums will match and is quietly neutral as a backdrop for your studio branding.
For those extra-special albums, or clients who want the best, we offer a selection of customizable slipcases and album boxes that combine beautiful display with lifetime protection. If you or your client have your heart set on a specific packaging option or style, please contact us for a custom consult.
Note: Upgraded packaging options are custom fit to your album, so we build them after the album is complete. This will add a little extra time to your album delivery; please contact us if you have specific deadlines.

Studio Samples
Sample products are one of your best investments. There is no better way to present your quality work and sales options to prospective clients. The reality is that you can't sell what you don't show. A client will fall in love once they can see and hold your work in a beautiful finished product and imagine themselves as part of it. Many album brands look similar online; when they see and touch Finao products in person, the differences in quality and craftsmanship becomes obvious.
To help make this happen, we offer generous studio sample discounts on almost every Finao product when you need them, 365 days a year. That's 40% off our regular prices for up to three ONE™ albums in a calendar year. We never make you wait for a sample sale, although sometimes we sweeten the deal with one.
Sample products are imprinted with STUDIO SAMPLE and are not for resale to your clients or for personal use.
See Your Work in Our Samples
We create samples of Finao products to display on our website, in advertising, and for you to see in person at tradeshows and conferences. We design these with the beautiful images shared by you, our Finao family. We love to show off your amazing talent!
If we ask your permission to create samples with your images, we will always credit your work and treat them with respect. If you love Finao and would like to share your images, let us know, and we are happy to consider them for sample display.
