Linen, velvet, faux leather or leather: which material do you choose for your photo album?
The first thing your customer feels from an album is the cover. And you decide that feeling with the material. Are you going for natural, soft, sleek, or rugged? We’ve put our four materials in a row for you.
Linen: natural and timeless
Linen has a beautiful, natural texture and really suits just about everything. Calm, stylish, and timeless: perfect for wedding albums with a natural look, newborn and family albums. A great choice if your customer is unsure.
Velvet: soft and luxurious
Velvet feels wonderfully soft and gives an album an instant luxurious touch. Colors appear extra deep and rich. Ideal for couples who love a bit of glamour, and for boudoir and portrait albums.
Faux leather: sleek and durable
Faux leather has the look of leather, but is sleek, durable, and easy to clean. A practical choice for albums that are opened often, such as family albums. And a great alternative for customers who don’t want real leather.
Leather: pure and full of character
Real leather is the most luxurious material. Every piece is unique, and it only gets better with age. Perfect for a wedding album that should last for generations, or a memorial album after a farewell. Looking for something with a vintage, rustic flair? Then take a look at The leather wrap.
Finish it off with personalization
Whatever material you choose, personalization makes the album truly complete. With embossing, the names or a date are pressed into the material: subtle and stylish. With foil embossing, a colored foil is added for a more striking effect. And with Signature Print, you can even add your own design or logo to linen or velvet. You’ll find all options and submission specs on our page about personalization.
