Itoya Profolio Advantage Art Presentation Book 5"x7" for Art, Photography, Document, and Archival Storage - 24 PolyGlass Pages for 48 Inserts

I've been taking photographs forever but only recently have I started to considered myself a "photographer" and am trying to market my work. I thought it might be best to try and market greeting cards to local businesses. I thought a small 5x7" portfolio like this would be a good way to show off my work without printing tons of cards in advance. I can just show the portfolio, maybe leave it with somebody, and say "Hey, pick 3 or 5 photos you like and I'll come back with some cards." This folio is made with a nice black plastic with a wrinkle finish. It's embossed with the brand name and the model on the backside. It's unobtrusive and very faint. The pages are nice and clear but are highly reflective. They're just as reflective as glass. Each page can be loaded on both sides and has a matte black paper backing. The black paper helps the photos stay in place and helps round out the black aesthetic. The pages are slightly "taller" than the 5" opening which allows for room for the pages to fold/bend around the binding. Some people claim that the pages are too large and their work "floats" around. I don't have that problem at all. Perhaps they removed the black paper which I'm sure adds some friction to whatever you put on top of it. It's inexpensive and is a very nice way to show off some artwork or photos. The pages are very clear, but again, are highly glossy and reflective. 5x7" photos went in relatively easily. It does take a little bit of a gentle hand to get them loaded because the page wants to flop and fold and the paper/artwork is likely going to be super-stiff and straight. There's 24 pages total and if you use both sides you get 48 images to display. The pages are riveted to the plastic cover. The cover has relief grooves cut into the spine that allows it to open and close.

I have this product in several different sizes and love them all. They're a wonderful presentation item and also great as family photo albums. I love the solid black background that really shows off images beautifully.

I bought two of these. One to store the yearly Christmas cards we send out of our family. The other one I'm using to put my kids' school photo head shots in order. Feels very high quality & sturdy and I like it much better than the "soft" or leathery type photo albums in the store with paper pages.

Yes, I looked forever for something to keep a few prints in to show to people. This is great! Crystal clear pages will show off your photos like nothing else can do! Well worth spending the money on!

This album seems to be very good quality and durable. I've bought some in the past and I am very pleased with them. The sleeves are very clear and the black paper packing is nice. The covers are very sturdy yet a little bit flexible, and they should hold up very well. Right now I am using them for displaying important events and miscellaneous items. Best 5x7 photo album for the price.

Works great, appears to be well made, looks nice, and gives me a means to show off my photos easily. Fits two 5x7 photos in each sleeve. Have ordered these twice already and will order more as needed.

This version of the Itoya presentation books it the best one because it allows the photos to be seen very clearly. It is due to the PolyGlass component I will only buy this version in the future. It is well worth any extra cost. Highly recommended. Look for the PolyGlass pocket sheets.

When I received the product, the sticker on the cover was different from what is advertised. That made me think that I’m receiving an older product or different product. I would return this item if the return policy allowed it. The cover feels sturdy and feels like it can hold well however the moment I hold the portfolio face front I can see the back cover which I didn’t like. I don’t know if that’s because of the product being held in storage or if it’s defective but, I need a portfolio that’s even all around. Basically a rectangle shape portfolio. I also didn’t realize the binding is curved and other reviews don’t show that. Giving this a 3 star because the poly glass is great and the plastic cover is thick. I just wished they made these without a curved binding. In the last picture I am showing you the difference in which portfolio I was looking for. The top portfolio was what I needed and the bottom portfolio is what this review is about. Both products from Itoya. Although I’m not quite content with this product, I may find another use for it.
