Available in 6 x 6-, 8 x 8- and 8 x 10-inch sizes with a choice of Heirloom finish (with UV coating and sanded, beveled edges) or Simply Color’s Legacy finish (straight edges).

Miller’s Professional Imaging Custom Wood Album Boxes

House your Miller’s Signature Album in these Custom Wood Boxes and you’ll have a rustic, natural heirloom to hand over to clients.

The boxes are available in solid maple or the slightly more expensive walnut and have slide tops that can feature images or custom lettering etched onto the surface. You can fit two lines of custom text with a choice of 15 design templates (only nine will support custom text, though). If you opt for a printed wooden lid, the image will be printed directly without using pure white, so the natural wood grain will show through.
