Dream Box Design Instruction

We are NOW (as of 2/1/2009) accepting dream box orders again! But HOLD ON~~~~~ there are great tips to get your beautiful boxes on time with no flaw!! (I do recommend to learn this tips NOW than later. Nobody left behind!!!!)

Here is a visual presentation of HOW ALL THE GUIDE LINES in the templates really work when it is made into the product!

The most important section here is between the line "a" and "b". That is where the crease will occur and we do not want any dark color there. I will not explain why here, but it is very important tips from our experience of making hundreds of boxes every month. 

So if you need the spine to be dark color like black, dark brown, navy... etc. please make the spine less thick so that the crease area stays lighter. If the front cover is filled with one image that is dark, please use lighter color on the spine and make sure it covers the area between "a" and "b"!

(light color means: anything from upper left quater of photoshop's color picker)

And here are some DO and DONT sample images that you can take a look. Please feel free to ask any quesiton regarding your design. It is a great idea to attach the websized image to email when you refer to certain part of your design.

AND Oh,
NEW TEMPLATE with the correct guides had been updated in our HOW TO page. Please REDOWNLOAD the files to make a perfect design!

Thanks!

introducing Dream Mats

Happy new year!!!!!

It is kind of getting late to say "Happy New Year!", but we have been working really really hard to make things happen asap. We are super excited to introduce one of our newest products, "Dream Mat" to you.
Dream boxes were made to present digital packages including the image CD and all printed images up to 100 or so. But then there are special occasions like mini sessions or just small sessions which will present upto 20 images.  This baby comes in 18 prints/set which fits perfectly our dream boxes with just enough room for a CD button under the cover. - so it is perfect for those maternity or newborn sessions or mini sessions!!!

The coolest features of dream mats are:


  • One stop shopping! -no need to order prints and mats at two separate vendors

  • No more messy labor -it will come bordered, printed, mounted and set in its own dream box!

  • So beautiful - you can design the back of the mats to match the box and put your logo on... etc.

  • Upload 5x7 ratio images and choose your border from our pretty selection

  • Same great quality at quick turnaround - 15 working days


This product will be available to order in February. Price will be announced then, too! - I promise it will be so awesome!!!
