A special binding process allows panoramic spreads as the pages lay flat without bending or a “gutter” between. Printed with a protective gloss UV finish, the ultra-heavy pages are 4 times thicker than ordinary paper. Available in sizes 6” x 6” and 7.5” x 7.5”.
Besides for the sizes available for each type, Photo Books differ based on the paper used – and in particular, the type of binding:
Keepsake Photo Book: Carefully assembled with a long-lasting “perfect” binding process using a special long-lasting adhesive
Occasions Photo Book: Lay-flat binding process for a continuous spread across opened pages
Signature Photo Book: Perfect bound with a Flexbind™ process
The vast majority of our press printed products are printed on either 100# or 110# archival quality paper. Calendars, printed book covers, and the pages of certain book products are printed on gloss cover stock, while the pages of other book products are printed on gloss text. Greeting cards are available in your choice of matte, pearlescent, linen, eco-friendly and watercolor stocks.
Occasions and Signature collection books can be ordered with your choice of satin or gloss UV coating on the pages. Books ordered with printed full-wrap photo covers come with a protective laminate in either gloss or satin. Cards printed on matte and pearlescent stock and trader cards are also available with option gloss or satin finishes.
