Lay-flat binding is a classic album making technique which allows the spine and pages to open and lay completely flat. Compared to other binding techniques, none of your imagery will be lost in the gutter or restricted to a single page. This means you can beautifully display your photos in double page spreads

A Layflat Hardcover is a professional style hardcover book. These come with a thick laminated cover. Due to the specialty paper used, the books open and lay flat on a table. Cover images are printed directly on the cover material itself!

The binding method used for our Layflat Hardcovers is the Case Bound method.
This method is the industry standard method used for Hardcover books. While the Case Bound method can differ based on the specific provider, it typically means that the inside pages are sewn together into “signatures”. These signatures are then glued to the end leaf of the book. The end leaf is then attached to the outer Hardcover casing.

Our Layflatp Hardcover books are constructed using high quality pre-cut boards for the case wraps. The books are bound on a computer controlled adhesive binding machine to ensure the integrity of the binding. The only difference for our Layflat Hardcovers is the paper type used. The paper type is especially made to be “hinged” at the center to allow for the book to lay flat when opened.
