Sometimes you only have one chance to make a good impression.

A few years back I set about to find a way to present my portfolio that was… well, different. Yet not so different it detract from the work it contained. I found the perfect solution in an elegant brushed aluminum portfolio cover from a company called Pina Zangaro. Not only was the styling and finish contemporary and stylish, it was extremely functional. The clear protective pages where held in place with an expandable screw post system allowing the me to add or subtract pages from the book as need. It was the perfect solution. A quintessential design with the perfect balance of good looks, quality construction and excellent functionality.

Since then, I’ve used Pina Zangaro products for presentations and more recently, my American Le Mans Series “2005 Collection” boxed set.

Pina Zangaro started back in 1989. Graphic designers were still using Linotronic machines to set type. Presentation-quality artwork took a lot of time and money to produce. And the portfolios this artwork was presented in were all black and mostly made of plastic.

Advances in personal computing and printing have changed all of this. Commercial artwork can now be created quickly and inexpensively using simple tools. This artwork is markedly different from the artwork of 15 years ago, and the products we put this artwork into have also changed.

machina_sp_detail.jpgAt Pina Zangaro, they’re working hard to design and produce a line of products that can be used to store, transport and present this new generation of artwork. They believe the products should be of impeccable design and manufacturing quality and that they should be a modular system so that combinations of elements can be brought together for the ideal presentation.

Pina Zangaro is a company that is known for its great service and reliability. When it comes to presenting documents and artwork, there is usually no time to spend searching for solutions. You need the right products, right away. And in an era when service is a key part of a companies’ offerings, Pina Zangaro’s service is good as good as their product line.

The good news is you can buy Pina Zangaro products at excellent prices online from PZ Direct. I’ve had great experiences with PZ Direct time and time again and I highly recommend them.
