How do albumworks binding types compare to Momento Photo Books?
At albumworks, we use traditional bookmaking techniques combined with modern materials to deliver high-quality Photo Books — whether you're after that classic book feel or the wow-factor of seamless Layflat spreads.
Classic Photo Books (Perfect Bound)
If you loved Momento’s classic binding, you’ll feel right at home with ours. Our Classic Photo Books are bound with state-of-the-art PUR glue — it’s incredibly strong yet flexible, meaning your pages won’t fall out even after years of flipping.
This style has a visible spine curve and the gentle valley down the centre, just like a traditional book. You can include up to 200 pages, which makes it perfect for larger projects like family histories or travel albums. We finish it off with lined end papers and beautifully trimmed, tucked covers for a polished, bookstore-quality result.
Layflat Photo Books
If you’re looking for a seamless, edge-to-edge display (great for full-page photos or panoramic images), our Layflat Photo Books are a standout. Each thick page is bonded directly to the next, giving you a durable, premium book that opens completely flat — no gutter or join in the middle.
Layflat books are printed on 400gsm E-Photo Lustre or Matte paper (both water-resistant and dirt-repellent), and can hold up to 140 pages. It’s a more modern finish than Classic, but just as robust — if not more!
So whether you loved Momento’s Classic or Layflat styles, you’ll find a comparable — and we believe, even better — version here at albumworks.
