This style book is built to hold our max number of pages, allowing clients to order everything from their session. Using a state-of-the-art press printing process to create book pages, our Indigos have a 200-year permanence rating. Smooth matte is also a favorite paper option for its soft-to-the-touch feeling. Pages are bound into the book by saddle-stitching and then covered with the same quality photo and fabrics used on Albums and Layflat Books. Hardcover Books are sold as a lower-cost book option for clients, or as a book series to cover the baby plan sessions and to pair with their albums. | **Sizes** | From 5×7" to 12×12" including square, horizontal, vertical options | |---|---| | **Cover Types** | 4 cover styles including cameo, combo, full photo, or material covers | | **Cover Materials** | Leather-like and fabric materials | | **Endleaves** | A protective paper sheet in a smooth black finish | | **Binding** | Saddle-Stitch Binding | | **Paper Types** | Double-sided press printing with two paper options | | **Debossing** | Choose between blind or a foil debossing option paired with available fonts or create a custom die | ## Product Options ### Cover Types Choose from multiple cover styles for complete personalization to fit your brand's needs and make each client happy. #### Full Material Cover Let the cover say it all with a timeless fabric or leather Full Material Cover. #### Custom Photo Cover Design a Custom Photo Cover with your images or design, printed on a Lustre cover. #### Cameo Cover Give a sneak peek of the incredible images inside by adding a single square cameo to any fabric or leather cover. **Size Limit:** Available on sizes 8×8" and larger Single Image Cover Double Image Cover #### Combo Cover A Combo Cover lets you display your custom image on the front with your choice of fabric or leather wrapping around the spine and the back, or you can create custom designs for both the front and back covers. **Add Stitching:** Finish with optional black or white stitching where the material meets the image. ### Cover Materials Explore our collection of leather, fabric, and photo surface options to customize your cover. #### Linens 100% natural linen is one of nature's sustainable eco materials and is soft to the touch with a natural weave and texture.
