High-Quality Photo Books

To truly enjoy your memories and showcase your photography, it’s essential to invest in a high-quality photo book. A premium photo book is distinguished by:

Its use of top-notch materials
Crisp and vivid printing
An aesthetically pleasing layout
Environmentally friendly practices.

By prioritizing these elements, you’ll create a treasured keepsake that not only looks stunning but also stands up to the test of time.

Customizing Your Photo Book

When it comes to personalizing your photo book, the options are nearly limitless. You can choose from a range of layouts, themes, and cover types to ensure your book reflects your unique style and vision. With the help of a photo book maker, whether you’re commemorating a special occasion or creating a stunning portfolio of your photography, these customization options give you the freedom to craft a photo book that truly represents your story.

You can also add text to your photo book, such as captions, quotes, and more.

Upload Your Photos and Create Stunning Layouts

Now that you’re familiar with the world of photo book printing, it’s time to dive into the creation process. Uploading your photos and designing captivating layouts are crucial steps to achieve a visually appealing book. With the right tools and tips, you’ll be able to craft a photo book that showcases your photography and tells your story in a compelling way.

To create eye-catching layouts, consider the following:

The size of your photos
Their position on the page
The overall design
The balance and composition of each spread

By paying attention to these elements, you can ensure a harmonious presentation of your images.

Uploading Photos

When it comes to uploading photos, efficiency is key. Utilizing cloud sharing services such as Google Photos, iCloud, or Dropbox allows for easy uploading and sharing of your images. By creating shared folders, you can quickly and effortlessly access your favorite photos and begin the process of designing your custom photo book.

Organizing your photos into albums and collections can help you find the perfect images for your project.

Designing Photo Layouts

As you design your photo layouts, don’t be afraid to experiment with various tools and techniques to achieve the perfect aesthetic. Software such as:

SketchUp
Adobe Illustrator
Canva
Figma
ClickUp

Can help you construct custom layouts, incorporating text, images, and other elements into your design.

Remember, the goal is to create a visually appealing and cohesive photo book that showcases your best work.

Choose the Perfect Format

With your photos uploaded and your layouts designed, it’s time to decide on the format of your photo book. Both hardcover and softcover photo books have their distinct advantages, so it’s essential to weigh your options and determine which format best suits your needs and preferences.

Consider factors such as the purpose of the photo book, your budget, and the desired aesthetic when choosing between hardcover and softcover formats. Both options offer their unique benefits, so take the time to evaluate which one aligns best with your vision for your custom photo book.

Hardcover Photo Books

Hardcover photo books provide a sense of durability and professionalism that can’t be matched by their softcover counterparts. With sturdy covers made of materials like cardboard or leather, hardcover photo books offer increased resilience and protection for the pages inside.

Additionally, hardcover books can be customized with designs or titles on the cover, giving your photo book a polished and personalized touch. Unfortunately, Dazzle Printing does not print hardcover photo books, although we can certainly print your softcover photo books.

Softcover Photo Books

If you’re looking for a more cost-effective and portable option, softcover photo books are an excellent choice. These lightweight books still offer high-quality printing and materials, ensuring your photos are beautifully showcased.

Softcover photo books are also easily customizable and available in various sizes, making them a convenient and versatile option for creating your own photo book to fulfill your photography needs.

Celebrate Life’s Moments with Themed Photo Books

One of the most rewarding aspects of creating a custom photo book is the ability to celebrate life’s special moments. Themed photo books allow you to commemorate significant milestones, such as weddings, graduations, and baby’s first birthday, in a unique and creative way.

By selecting the perfect theme for your photo book, you can tailor the design and content to reflect the occasion and create a lasting keepsake that you and your loved ones will cherish for years to come.

Wedding Photo Books

A wedding is a monumental event, and capturing the memories in a custom photo book allows you to relive the magic of your special day. Wedding photo books can include not only images of the happy couple and their guests, but also quotes, lyrics, or vows that hold sentimental value.

By creating a beautiful wedding photo book, you’re not only preserving memories, but also crafting a timeless treasure that tells the story of your love.

Family Trip Albums

Family vacations are filled with exciting adventures and cherished memories. Documenting these experiences in a family trip album allows you to relive the fun times and share them with others. To create a meaningful family album, include a mix of family photos, such as portraits and destination shots, as well as journal entries or anecdotes from family members.

This personalized approach will create a vibrant and engaging album that transports you back to your favorite moments.

Other Special Occasions

Custom photo books aren’t limited to just weddings and family trips – they’re perfect for commemorating any special occasion. Some examples of events that can be celebrated with a custom photo book include:

Birthdays
Anniversaries
Graduations
Baby showers
Bridal showers

By capturing the highlights and memories of these occasions, you create a unique keepsake that can be enjoyed and shared with loved ones.

Create and Share Your Personalized Photo Album

Once you’ve created your personalized photo album, it’s time to share your masterpiece with the world. Whether you want to gift it to friends and family, display it proudly in your home, or even sell it online, there are countless ways to share your custom photo book with others.

Options

Dazzle Printing prints a wide variety of products, but we specialize in photo book printing services and other multi-page document printing. With the most up-to-date printing and bindery equipment and decades of experience, we provide our clients with outstanding photo book printing products with outstanding customer service and reasonable prices.

Here are some tips to consider when deciding on options for your photo book printing:

Quantity

We have a minimum print quantity of only 25 copies, with 1 copy increments. As your printing quantity increases, the cost per photo book will decrease. While we always ship a couple of extra copies with your order, we can’t guarantee how many extras you will receive.

Page Count

Pages are counted like pages in a book. One sheet of paper with printing on the front and the back counts as two pages. With our photo book printing services, we can print any bind anywhere from 8 pages to over 600 pages. Remember to include 4 pages for your cover in your page count — front outside cover, front inside cover, back inside cover, and back outside cover.

Color vs. Black and White Printing

If your inside pages contain mostly text, black and white printing will be fine. However, if you have photos or graphic elements on the inside pages, consider color printing. Our prices for color printing are reasonable and your readers will appreciate the use of color.

Sizes

Our four standard book sizes are 5.5 x 8.5, 6 x 9, 8.5 x 11, and 9 x 12. You can also print nonstandard sizes up to 9 x 12. When ordering a nonstandard size, select the next larger size on our calculators. For example, if you want to print a 7 x 10 photo book, use the 8.5 x 11 size. Then note in our note section of the order form what the finished size of the photo book will be.

Binding Style

If you’re printing a photo book, it’s important to know your binding style options. We offer four binding styles for multipage documents — perfect bound, plastic coil, saddle stitch, and wire-o. However, while most photo books are perfect bound bound, we have also seen saddle stitch, plastic coil, and wire-o binding. While we can perfect bind photo books as small as 8 pages, we recommend only considering perfect binding for photo books with over 32 pages.

Paper for Inside Pages

We offer several options for the inside pages of your photo book —60# uncoated text, 70# uncoated text, 80# uncoated text, 70# gloss or matte text, 80# gloss or matte text, or 100# gloss or matte text. Good options for photo books that are with a lot of photos or graphic elements include any of our gloss or matte text options. We recommend ordering our printing sample packet, which contains samples of all four binding styles plus samples of all of our paper stocks.

Paper for Cover

For perfect bound books, we offer 80# and 100# cover stock for covers. Either option is good for covers, although as your book becomes thicker, consider the 100# cover stock option.

Lamination

If you’re printing a photo book with perfect bound, plastic coil, or wire-o binding, we highly recommend adding lamination to the covers. It provides protection for the cover. Gloss lamination will also make the colors on the cover really stand out, while soft-touch lamination has a great velvety feel to it.

Hard Copy Press Proof

Consider getting a hard copy press proof if you are concerned about any of the options you selected for your photo book or how your file will look when printed. You will probably notice things in the hard copy press proof that you didn’t notice in your digital file. We print and bind the photo book to your exact order specifications, so you see exactly how the photo book will look. After seeing the proof, if you want to make changes to your order options or to your print file, your customer service representative will take care of that for you. The cost for a hard copy press proof is $60 when shipped via UPS ground service and $100 when shipped via UPS overnight service.

Delivery

We get it. For most of our clients, it is imperative that they receive their printing order by the due date.

We know it’s tough to figure out when your order will arrive. First, you have to approve your proof. Once that is done, your order will ship no later than 4 business days later. But then, you have to wait for UPS to deliver your order, which can take anywhere from 1 to 4 business days.

So how do you make sure you get your order on time?

When you are placing your order, there is a field that asks for your delivery due date. Just tell us the date you need your order. We will let you know if it can be done based on the production speed and UPS shipping option you selected.

If it can’t be done with your selected options? No problem, we’ll work with you to expedite production or shipping.

Again, our normal production turnaround time is 4 business days after proof approval. Orders over $399 receive FREE ground UPS shipping within the contiguous United States (Alaska and Hawaii are excluded from this offer). Our calculators will also estimate expedited shipping costs. The shipping cost displayed is only an estimate, and you will be charged actual UPS shipping costs for expedited service.

With really tight deadlines, call us at 1-800-338-4329 or chat with us online to make sure we can get your project done on time.

Expedited production does increase the cost of printing:
3 business days after proof approval costs 15% more
2 business days after proof approval costs 25% more
1 business day after proof approval costs 40% more
Same business day after proof approval costs 100% more

Before selecting same day service, please check with us to make sure we can process your order the same day. That will typically depend on when you approve your file for printing and how many copies you want.

To determine how many shipping days you are from our facility, please check the UPS map on this page.

Help

To ensure that you are delighted with your printing project, it’s important to ensure that your printing files are set up properly. If you have questions about any of the following topics, please check our frequently asked questions:

PDF Files: We only accept PDF files for printing. The PDF file should have graphics and fonts embedded with printing bleeds included.

Bleeds and Safety Zones: To ensure that no important graphics or text or cut off, it is very important to provide bleeds on your files and ensure that critical text and graphics do not go in the safety zone.

Margins: Make sure you have adequate printing margins all the way around your document, but especially on the bound edge. When binding multipage documents, perfect binding, wire-o binding, and plastic coil binding will use approximately 1/8 of an inch on the bound edge. Without adequate printing margins, some of your text or graphics may get lost in the gutter of perfect bound books. We recommend at least 3/4 of an inch on the bound side for perfect bound books.

Image Resolution: All graphics should have a resolution of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). Viewing images on a computer screen can be misleading, since the maximum image resolution of a computer screen is 72 dpi. A 72 dpi image will look fuzzy when printed. Increasing the size of a graphic will reduce the resolution, while reducing the size of the graphic will increase the resolution.

CMYK vs. RGB Color: Graphics and colors should be converted to CMYK color. Often, photos are in RGB color. If you do not convert to CMYK color, there may be some color shifts when we convert the files before printing. These color shifts are more noticeable in background colors and less noticeable with photographs.
