First patented in the U.S. on May 16, 1882 by
Henry Van Hovenbergh of Elizabeth, New
Jersey, early flip books consisted of simple
drawings stacked in sequential stages of
movement with a single staple binding. When
the pages were flipped, they would create the
optical illusion of motion
On February 19,1887 Thomas Edison was awarded the
United States Patent No. 200,251 for the tin foil photograph
from 1877

Then, in the 1960′s, innovative marketers
from Disney, Gillette, McDonald’s, Post
Cereals, Canada Dry, Ford (and others)
resurrected the trend, creatively using flip
books as novelties, interactive brochures
and promotional giveaways to promote
their products.
But unfortunately, that trend ended in the
1970’s as new “interactive multimedia”
technologies began to take the spotlight…

But now, over a century after flip books were first
introduced, flipbooks are back… and better than
ever! Flippies has re-engineered the original flip
book concept to create the most engaging,
entertaining flip book experience ever. We’ve also
created a patent pending process to make the
creation and production of flip books from liveaction or animated video footage easy and
efficient. The end result is a high quality flip book
“keepsake” that plays back crystal clear clips of
full motion video with a simple flip of a thumb,
achievements in taking his original flip book
concept to a whole new level of sophistication.
In this age of high tech interactive
multimedia, the simplicity of flipbooks is
not only refreshing,
but its illusion is even more captivating
than ever. Creative marketers are, once
again, beginning
to use flip books as interactive brochures
and promotional giveaway items for live
events, trade shows and other marketing
activities.
Flippies is proud to play a role in the
history of flip books by continuing to
innovate through the use of new
technologies, the implementation of
proprietary production techniques and by
applying our creativity and passion to the
development of new custom flip books for
marketers, publishers and enthusiasts
throughout the world
