The Exterior
Mark the Moment
Six Customizable Designs
To start, the Signature Layflat Album offers cover designs for a
variety of occasions, including family, wedding, travel, and general
uses. Each includes customizable foil text elements to title your
book and make it your own. The true, traditional foil stamping
method, rather than digital foil printing, sets many of our photo
books apart. With this, each letter is imprinted with heat into the
fabric cover and spine, resulting in an elegantly textured finish.
Front and Center
Inlaid Cover Photo
In addition to foil stamping, customize your album with an inlaid
feature photo, which is debossed and strongly adhered to the front
cover. A common customer request, the incorporation of a photo on
the cover of your album adds personality to the exterior and a
preview of what’s inside.
Reduce. Reuse.
Recycled Leather Binding
The leather binding material option is made from recycled, or
renatured, real hide fragments that are blended into a smooth, more
sustainable material. In this process, the leather fragments are
given a renewed use, rather than going to waste. Because this
renatured leather is uncoated, it also still develops a natural
patina over time.
Better, Naturally
Plant-Based Fabric Binding
Our cover fabrics provide a premium feel and lasting durability,
using plant-based fibers instead of plastic. Each cover is adhered
onto the book binding with handcrafted care.
The Interior
Expanded Options
25 New Interior Layouts
You asked, we answered! We’ve expanded our page layout offerings by
25+ with a focus on flexibility and more photos. With options
ranging from new four-image spreads to 10-image spreads, you can now
add more photos than ever to your pages to capture more of your
favorite moments, in print.
Design-Forward
Color Block Pages
Our latest editor feature allows you to add divider pages to your
book with a full-bleed color, customized by you. Color-block pages
stand out as a way to categorize your moments by chapter, denote
changes in season, or even section out your book by location — the
opportunities are endless. Pro tip: We love the way these bold pages
look when overlaid with text. Choose your color, then select “Add
Text Box” to include notes about the pages to follow.
An Artisan Touch
Marbled End Sheets
Handcrafted by female fair-trade artisans of Sustain & Heal, the
gold, marbled paper end sheets are produced one of a kind through
traditional techniques in Bangladesh. Due to their handmade nature,
each end sheet will vary slightly in its unique marbled patterns,
making your album truly one of a kind.
End-to-End Awe
Panoramic Spreads
Like our other Layflat albums, also known as flush-mount
photo books, the pages within it present your photos with seamless, panoramic
impact. Landscape-oriented images especially stand out as they span
a full spread, without the interruption of a book’s crease or
“gutter.” And since the album stays open when lying flat, it makes
for a great coffee table book on display.
Because Materials Matter
Premium Paper
There are two
paper type options
that make up the insides of our Signature Layflat Photo Albums,
Matte and Lustre, each ultra thick with an elevated texture that
exudes quality. Produced by family-owned and sustainability-minded
paper company,
Mohawk, every page in the album is also certified by the Forest
Stewardship Council.
True to Life
Press Printing
In the Signature Layflat Album and across all products, we use the
press printing method, which produces the warm and pleasant
aesthetic our customers know and love. Press printing renders your
photos through a series of tiny dots, rather than the
environmentally harmful traditional photo print method using silver
halide, while also allowing us to fine-tune our own unique color
profile on press.
The two paper type options in the album, Matte and Lustre, each interact with the ink a bit differently: choose the matte finish for a softer aesthetic where each photo’s ink soaks into the paper fibers, or choose the lustre finish for a satin aesthetic, serving as our understated take on traditional “glossy” print.

Bookmark Ribbon
Embellishing each album is an ivory book ribbon detail to mark your
place or open to your favorite spread each time. We believe it’s
these seemingly small details that add up to make the Signature
Layflat Album’s quality speak for itself.
