What's new in the Photo Album?

Our flagship product, the Photo Album, has recently been overhauled with a whole array of features - making it more customisable and unique than ever before! Such a vast number of changes hasn't been introduced since its very inception.

With regards to Photo Albums, if someone thought it would be difficult to reinvent the wheel, they've either been mistaken or just don't know what we're capable of! We've figured that even a product like the well-established Photo Album could be improved upon and become something greater. It took some time and effort, but we now have a collection of updates & features to be proud of.

Updated Album Spines

The first major change, which took place in 2023, was a design update that made our Photo Album spines flat. Thanks to this, Photo Albums are more durable, fit better in bookshelves, and have been opened up to a few potential features which may be added at some point in the future. 

Thickened Spreads

Thicker, more robust spreads are something that our US audience has been waiting to see for a long time. You now have two options to choose from:

• 800g/m2 - the standard grammage for Album spreads
• 1600g/m2 - the new, thicker size

Even when fewer in number, thicker spreads tend to look more elegant and long-lasting. The option has since become popular enough to share widespread use in our European markets too!

Cover Gilding

A long-awaited novelty - Gilded designs for Photo Albums, which are currently available in 3 of our most popular Album sizes - 20x20cm/8x8", 25x25cm/10x10" & 30x30cm/12x12". This option is currently only available for Albums with leatherette covers, and can work well with traditional & more colourful tones alike. The add-on is a perfect match for wedding, newborn, family, portrait or even boudoir photographers. Gilding accessories have been growing in popularity in recent years, and we're certain that they'll bring many new clients for photographers - especially so, as we allow for certain designs to be edited.

Wooden finishes for Photo Albums

This is one of the more recent additions to our offer - the option to give your Album a wooden finish has been released for Albums sized at 20x20cm/8x8", 25x25cm/10x10" and 30x30cm/12x12". The finish coverage is more or less the same as our AP3 acrylic window option, and its natural oak surface provides ample room for a variety of unique designs which we've also created. These designs are created using laser etching, and a number of them can be further personalised with your own text. The remaining surface area's cover material options are more or less the same as with our standard Photo Albums, with a selection of velvets, leatherettes and textiles.

As you can tell, we don't intend to stop at "good enough" - even the highly regarded Photo Album has room for further improvement. We also don't wish to bore you with technical terminology, but know that each change comes with a multitude of background changes that our production has to take into account, ensuring that new features are both visually attractive and made to last.
