Prinz Premieres 2011 Baby Collection

NORTHBROOK, IL – First toothless grin, first steps, first haircut … a baby’s life is filled with so many special moments, each one deserving to be captured in beautiful frames and albums to be lovingly remembered for years to come. For 2011, Northbrook-based Prinz is pleased to present Little Angels, featuring a new selection of frames and coordinating albums to commemorate baby’s first precious years.

The new additions to the 2011 baby collection include 11 new frame series and two album collections, all featuring a variety of formats, styles and price points. The baby line is shipping now.

Commemorating baby’s first year is Once Upon a Time, a collage frame featuring word art matting with openings for 12 photos, one for each month, and a larger 5×7 opening to showcase baby’s one-year photo. The platinum frame, crafted of recycled styrene, is available for a suggested retail price of $32.

Also new in the Little Angels line is Just Arrived, a silverplated frame with shiny silver baby buggy and teddy bear accents. At the center of the frame is an area to record baby’s name, weight, length and birthdate. The frame holds a 4×6 photo and sells for a suggested retail price of $14.

Prinz’s best-selling baby frame, New Addition, suitable for displaying a sonogram photo, has prompted the company to introduce a new frame series, Counting the Days, featuring a 5×4 opening for sonogram or other photo. Featuring mirror star cutouts, the wood frame includes a heartwarming expression beneath the photo opening. Two styles are available – We wished upon a star and here you are and Love at first sight. The frames will retail for $17 each. Baby’s first hospital photo is perfect for Little Miracle, a metal frame available in two styles: It’s a boy (in blue) and It’s a girl (in pink). The frames hold a 4×6 photo and are available for a suggested retail price of $10 each.

The new Prinz Be Happy humor collection, featuring 30 styles with fun, lighthearted expressions, includes baby themed offerings. Baby Talk, in bright green with star accents, features two designs: Don’t let the “cute” thing fool ya!” and Party… my crib 2am B.Y.O.B. (bring your own bottle). The wood frames feature a 4×6 photo opening and sell for a suggested price of $12.99. Family members love to fill photo albums with memories of baby’s first years, and Prinz offers several beautiful albums in the Baby Collection for 2011.

Chronicling a child’s early years will be a delight with the Story of Me album, featuring brightly colored stripes and coordinating polka-dot cover frame. Available in 40 or 200 capacity styles in blue or pink, the album features coordinating printed pages, each with a memo-write area for journaling about baby’s many “firsts.” The albums sell for a suggested retail price of $4 (40 capacity) and $12 (200 capacity).
