What cover materials and finishes are available?
Softcover Photo Books feature premium paper-based covers:

What is digital foil, and how much does it cost?
Digital foil adds a metallic gold finish to your cover text for an elevated look.
Pricing varies by size and is available on the Softcover Photo Book product page.
What is the difference between digital foil and foil stamping?
- Digital foil: Printed directly onto the cover with a metallic gold finish, then coated with a UV gloss layer for a slightly raised texture.
- Foil stamping: A traditional method using heat and pressure to deboss foil into fabric covers, creating a deeper, more tactile impression.
Digital foil is used on Softcover Photo Books, while foil stamping is available on select fabric-bound albums.
What paper type is used?
Printed on matte paper for a smooth, natural look that lets photos and text stand out beautifully, and is the same paper type as our Color Series Photo Books.

How much do additional pages cost?
