How are Hardcover Photo Books bound?
For our softcover and hardcover books, we use PUR Binding. This is a form of perfect binding where the pages and cover are glued together at the spine and the other three sides of the book are trimmed as needed to give them clean “perfect” edges. Polyurethane Reactive (PUR) is the most durable bookbinding glue available.

What is the difference between digital foil and foil stamping?
Digital foil is adhered to the printed text directly on the cover paper in gold, silver, and copper colors. A UV Gloss layer is then applied to give the foil a textured, embossed effect.
Digital foil is now available on the dust jacket of the following book types: Hardcover Photo Book, Hardcover Travel Photo Book, Hardcover Milestone Photo Book, Hardcover Annual Photo Book, Hardcover Wedding Photo Book, and the available to be printed directly on the covers of the Color Series Photo Book and the Softcover Photo Book.
Foil stamping is a traditional method, which is different from digital foil. Each letter is de-bossed with pressured heat into the fabric cover and spine, resulting in an elegantly textured finish. Foil stamping is available on the Layflat Photo Album, Wedding Layflat Photo Album, Signature Layflat Photo Album, Wedding Guest Book, and the Everday Photo Book.
