What's the difference between Deckled-Edge Studio Portrait Folders and Slip-In Portrait Folders?

Our studio portrait folders feature a distinctive deckle edge detail, as well as wide window frame borders for extra imprinting space. Our slip-in portrait folders are a smaller alternative for those wanting the linen-like feel of portrait folders, or for those wanting a small black portrait folder. Folder edges on slip-in portrait folders are straight (no deckle).
