What binding options do you offer and why do they matter?
albumworks offers two premium binding styles — Classic (Perfect Bound) and Layflat — each carefully designed to enhance how your photo book looks, feels, and lasts. Your binding choice shapes how your images are displayed, how your pages turn, and how your book stands the test of time.
Classic (Perfect Bound) Photo Books
Our Classic Photo Book uses professional-grade PUR glue, which is stronger and more flexible than standard bookbinding glue. This style creates a subtle valley in the spine, offering a traditional photo book feel with gently curved pages.
Why choose Classic binding?
Perfect for longer stories with up to 200 pages.
Comfortable to hold and easy to flip through.
A familiar, timeless design ideal for family yearbooks, travel journals, baby milestone albums, and everyday keepsakes.
A range of paper options to suit the size and feel of your project.
Layflat Photo Books
Our Layflat Photo Books are designed for a seamless, gallery-style experience. Offering a unique construction, where each page is glued to the next, forming thick, bonded spreads that open completely flat, with no image loss in the centre.
Why choose Layflat binding?
Perfect for double-page photo spreads and panoramic images.
Printed on luxurious, thick 400gsm E-Photo Lustre or Matte paper for a premium, weighty feel.
Holds up to 140 pages, making it ideal for wedding albums, portfolios, and visually driven projects.
Layflat binding allows your photos to shine without interruption — creating impact on every page.
Built to last
No matter which binding you choose, every albumworks Photo Book is made with precision, premium materials, and care. These are more than just books — they are keepsakes designed to be shared and treasured for generations.
