Photo Book or Album? How to know which is right for me?

Our Photo Albums range from 24-80 pages, and the paper is mounted onto board giving an overall page thickness of approximately 1 mm. The pages are bound using a lay-flat, flush-mounted binding technique.

Our Photo Books range from 24-200 pages*, and the pages in a Premium Photo Book are bound using a section-sewn binding technique. This is an extremely robust, traditional method of book-binding. It is important to note that with this binding technique the pages lie relatively flat, but not perfectly flat as per the method used for the albums.

The Classic Photo Book Range is PUR bound which is a form of perfect binding and is one of the most popular and durable methods in use today. The pages in Classic Photo Books will bow from the center.

The format you go with may depend on how thick you want your pages and your overall Photo Book/Album to be. You can see how thick each format can be here.

We have some blogs to help you with selecting the right format for you:
