Photo Books & Picture Books Overview

Our professional Photo Books and Picture Books are press-printed and made in-house using the finest cover materials and papers. All books come in fabric, vegan leather or photo covers. Photo Book pages include fine papers like Standard, Linen, Art or Pearl while Picture Books pages are exclusively E-Photo Lustre paper. Panoramic images can be spread across a Photo Book microgutter (hinged layflat or non-hinged) or run seamlessly across a Picture Book with its tight center crease.

Check our current turnaround times especially during holidays and promotions. Normal estimated turnaround is 2-3 business days; add 1-2 days for photo books with thicker spines of over 150 non-hinged sides or 60 hinged sides.

What's the difference between Photo Books vs Picture Books?

Photo Books and Picture Books have many of the same great options with some key differences. All Photo Books and Picture Books require a minimum of 20 sides and are made with a professional hard cover in any of our Fabric, Vegan Leather, Sparkle, Metallic or Photo Covers. Key differences are in page style and papers, as well as book sizes.

Photo Books

Comparison of Hinged or Non-Hinged Photo Books Pages

Photo Books come in 2 page styles: hinged or non-hinged. Hinged pages lay flat when the Photo Book is fully opened and panaramic images span a 2 mm microgutter. Non-hinged pages do not lay flat and instead retain a curve when the book is fully open, much like a magazine.

Photo Books come in 4 paper types and 10 sizes. See our Options tab for details.

Picture Books

Tight Center Crease Picture Book Pages

Picture Books have only 1 page style: a tight center crease with allows a panoramic image to seamlessly print over 2 pages without a gap or microgutter.

Picture Books come in 1 paper type and 4 sizes. See our Options tab for details.

Page Styles

Photo Books 2 Page Styles & Picture Books 1 Page Style

Photo Books come in 2 page styles (hinged or non-hinged). Picture Books come in 1 page style (center crease).

Photo Books come in hinged or non-hinged page styles. Hinged pages (shown, bottom) lay flat when the Photo Book is fully open and panoramic images span a 2mm microgutter. Non-hinged pages (shown, top) do not lay flat and instead retain a curve when the book is fully open, much like magazine.

Picture Books have only 1 page style: a tight center crease (shown, middle) which allows a panoramic image to seamlessly print over 2 pages without a gap or microgutter.

Page Papers

Red, Yellow & Blue Flower - 4 Paper Types

Choose to print your Photo Book pages on 90 lb Standard, 90 lb Linen, 80 lb Art or 110 lb Pearl papers. Picture Book pages are only printed on E-Photo Lustre paper.

Photo Book papers are hinged (Standard, Linen, Art or Pearl) or non-hinged (Standard). When open, hinged pages layflat; non-hinged pages gently curve toward the spine. For added protection, add Matte or Gloss Coating (hinged Art and non-hinged Standard are Matte only). Non-hinged Standard not available for 12x12".

Picture Book pages are press-printed exclusively on ultra-white E-Photo Lustre paper which looks and feels like classic photographic paper with a semi-sheen. This paper folds beautifully without cracking, making it perfect for the Photo Book's gutterless, tight center crease.
