Hardback Sizes at a Glance

Choose between 7 shapes & sizes for your new photo book hardback:

  • landscape: A hardback photo book in a landscape format with layflat binding (photo paper) is particularly suitable for panoramic photos. Showcase your most beautiful travel and holiday photographs in a book with a seamless spread.
  • portrait: The hardback photo book in a portrait format is particularly suitable for portraits or architectural photos with high contrasts and a dynamic feeling.
  • square: Any layout is possible here - especially if you have a large variety of photos in both landscape and portrait sizes. A high-quality hardback photo book in square format is simply always a good choice.
Types of Binding for Your Hardback Photo Book
Layflat & Traditional Book Binding

Types of Binding for Your Hardback Photo Book

  • layflat books: The layflat binding allows you to showcase your images to their best advantage, since the printable area covers an entire double-page spread. The spreads are folded flat in the middle so that your photo book can be opened completely flat. It's the ultimate choice for panoramic landscape photos - you can mount your new photo book on a picture rack, opened on any page and get a new wall art each time!
  • traditional glue binding: If you design your photo book with a hardback and the glue binding, you are getting a very durable photo product. It will look brand-new for years, and even after passing through many hands.
