Paper Styles
Standard Printing Paper Stocks
Unlike many photobook companies, our standard paper is heavy 80# cover paper. When the book gets too thick to bind, around 70-80 pages, our ordering system automatically switches to the lighter, but still high quality, 100# text weight paper. Our lightest weight stock, it is still higher quality than you can get from many of the high volume book companies. If you prefer the lighter weight papers you can always select them during the ordering process.
All of our standard papers are available in matte and gloss finishes. Order to your (or your client's) preferences, but we strongly recommend a matte finish (or upgrade to our Felt/Watercolor layflat paper) for guest signature books.
Upgrade to our Layflat Paper
Our Layflat paper have a laminated hinge in the paper which allows the pages to lie flat when the book is open. Perfect for guest signature books and panarama spreads! Our layflat paper comes in the following paper types:
- Matte
- Photo Lustre
- Felt Watercolor
- Pearl
