Officeworks Photobooks

Our albums are digitally printed on 170 GSM semi-gloss acid-free paper.

This paper is considered optimal for albums due to its increased thickness and quality while still remaining pliable enough to fulfil the requirements of our albums.

Our Calendars, posters and the covers on our softcover album are all printed on a heavier 350 GSM card and have the same semi-gloss and acid-free characteristics.

Here are some definitions of the terms used to describe the paper:

• Semi-gloss - defines how 'shiny' the paper is. A semi-gloss paper gives it that slightly wet look that traditional photos have.
• Acid-free - means that the paper has been treated to neutralise it's natural acidity. Without this the paper would slowly turn yellow over time, similar to an old newspaper.

As long your photobook is cared for and it's stored in a cool dry location out of direct sunlight, we'd expect it to last for generations.
