Photobook Plus

Photobook Plus

Exclusive luxury covers and hand-set text embossing
Photo books with the ‘Plus’ designation can be ordered exclusively via our design software. The ‘Plus’ denotes exclusive materials that cannot be printed on; instead, text can be added via hand-set embossed lettering. There are four different materials and 14 options for the perfect finish to your photo book.

Photobook Flat

Photobook Flat

Pages that lie flat and are sturdy
Thanks to the Flatbook binding, the pages in these books lie flat, providing the perfect backdrop for double-page photos. Furthermore, the inside of the cover can be printed on and there is no endpaper. For a classic design, the first and last pages should therefore be left blank. As two pages are glued together in flatbooks, the paper weight is always double the standard value. The pages are therefore thicker and consequently more sturdy. For this reason, the number of pages available for design has been deliberately reduced.

Photobook Photographic

Photobook Photographic

Exposed genuine photographic paper with flat-lying pages
‘Photographic’ refers to products that use genuine photographic paper. This involves a chemical process in which the photographic paper is exposed to light. Consequently, the product is not produced using digital printing, unlike the majority of our books. The photographic paper is available in gloss and matt finishes, although even the matt version has a very subtle sheen.
