What details set albumworks Photo Books apart in quality and finish?
At albumworks, we believe that true craftsmanship lies in the details — the kind you may not notice straight away, but absolutely feel when you hold the finished book in your hands.
From the moment your photos are uploaded to the final quality check, every albumworks Photo Book is handled with care and precision. We use state-of-the-art digital presses, calibrated daily, to ensure colour consistency across every page. You’ll see the difference in the rich tonal depth, vibrant colours, and smooth gradients — the kind of print quality that elevates your images to something truly special.
What really sets us apart is our Hi Colour printing. While most photo book providers use standard 4-colour CMYK, we offer a premium 7-colour print process that delivers greater vibrancy and superior range of colour — especially noticeable in skin tones, landscapes, and soft gradients. It’s a level of quality rarely found outside professional photo labs.
Each album is professionally bound, with your choice of Classic or Layflat binding. Our Classic Photo Books use PUR glue, renowned for its strength and flexibility, ensuring your book holds up beautifully even with frequent use. All Classic books are finished with lined endpapers and carefully folded corners. With Layflat Photo Books the pages are bonded to form thick, durable spreads that turn smoothly and lay completely flat — perfect for full-spread designs and panoramic images.
Our covers are another point of pride with two high-quality options: Photocovers are printed with your design and covered in a matte or lustre laminate finish for durability and to resist scuffs. Premium Material covers are hand-finished with quality Buckram or Faux Leather and the option of beautiful foil or blind hot-stamping. Every hardcover book, regardless of cover type, is built on high-density boards for structure and longevity.
And while our craftsmanship speaks for itself, we know that it’s our customer service that truly sets the experience apart. Our friendly, knowledgeable lMelbourne team is just a phone call, email or live chat away. Whether you need help with the editor, advice on paper types, or reassurance before placing your order, we’re here to make sure everything goes smoothly. We treat your memories like our own.
