What type of paper is used for the layflat albums?
- Lustre: Mohawk ProPhoto paper in lustre finish; has a light sheen (reminiscent of traditional photo paper) with a smooth finish
- Superfine: Mohawk Superfine paper in eggshell finish; matte paper with a lightly textured finish
*If you are intending to write on the pages, the Superfine (eggshell) finish will be better as the ink will dry faster.

How thick are the layflat album pages?
Each page is about .04” thick. The minimum book (20 pages) is .625” in thickness. The maximum book (70 pages) is 1.625” in thickness. The pages are not measured in gsm since the photo paper has a glue sheet inserted to create a flush mount photo album.
Can I add custom fonts, layouts, etc for my foil stamping on the cover and spine of my book?
All of our layflat foil stamping is done by hand, so unfortunately we cannot accommodate any customization beyond the options provided within the editor at this time.
What type of binding is used for the layflat album?
We use flush mount materials. Each page has a glue sheet inserted to make the page extra thick. These pages are secured around the spine and then placed into the cover, which is then adhered to the outer side of the end sheets.
Is the Artifact Uprising logo on the layflat album?
Our Layflat Photo Albums do not include our logo on the final product. It comes in a custom, white box with a removable sleeve with the logo on it. The logo is included on the product shipping packaging, and cannot be removed.
Can I change my book size once I've started my project?
The size and type of the book you create cannot be changed once your project is started. The only way to change the size or type of your book is to start a completely new project. To learn how to change the fabric, foil, or paper type of your layflat, click here.
WEDDING GUEST BOOK
Do you recommend a specific pen for the guestbook?
We have tested many pens on our books and the winner is.... the American Crafts' Slick Writer Pen. You can find them on Amazon or in local stores. (*Please note - exposed for prolonged periods of time to extreme heat can cause the pen to bleed.)
If you cannot find the Slick Writer pen, we recommend any pen that dries fast and does not tend to smear.
How is this different from the layflat album?
There are more templates with extra space for writing abilities! When estimating how much space to leave in a wedding guest book, a good rule of thumb is to dedicate a page for every 10-15 signatures.
What paper type do you recommend for the guestbook?
We recommend the Superfine paper for wedding guest books specifically. The matte paper allows ink to sink in and dry faster, with less chance of smearing.
