PERSONALISATION OPTIONS
It’s the little details that make an album truly unique. Personalise your beautiful album with an array of different custom options.
A time-honed and meticulous process. Debossing is also known as blocking, blind blocking or block stamping but it’s all the same satisfying, tactile finish. Traditional methods are used to imprint letters into the cover, stamping your text without the need for ink or foil.
Suitable for: Vintage Leather | Nappa Leather | Birch Leather | Suede | Vegan Leather
UV Overprint is a method that allows us to print directly onto our materials in either black or white. Similar to our custom blocking option, this option allows you almost infinite creativity with your own bespoke designs or text/font options. Taking away the need to order a custom debossing block, with UV printing there is also no indentation to the cover, providing a smooth and flawless finish.
Suitable for: Vintage Leather | Nappa Leather | Birch Leather| Linen | Hessian | Buckram | Vegan Leather
A stunning finish using the same imprinting methods of debossing but rather than leaving the blocking nude we press metallic foil into the indentation. Available in Matte Gold, Rose Gold and Silver.
Suitable for: Vintage Leather | Nappa Leather | Birch Leather | Linen | Buckram | Vegan Leather
Our Cameo is available with our full range of cover materials.
Your choice of image is heat sealed within a custom cut aperture on the front of the album.
Suitable for: Vintage Leather | Nappa Leather | Birch Leather| Linen | Hessian | Suede | Buckram | Vegan Leather
We can create any design or logo on a custom made brass block for stunning, clear impressions on your album covers. Every single design is carefully reproduced using high quality materials that deliver crisp, striking impressions. Choose from three striking foil colours to create the perfect custom mark on your album or keep it blind debossed for a beautifully subtle finish.
Custom debossing requires an additional charge of £40.00 and can add up to 2 weeks onto your production time however it allows you to create something completely unique and is a premium finish for your clients.
To order a custom debossed design simply order your album with a full wrap with no personalisation and state in the comments section that you’d like a custom debossing finish and a member of our team will get in touch to arrange this with you.
Suitable for: Vintage Leather | Premium Leather | Birch Leather | Suede | Vegan Leather
Laser engraving provides an incredibly versatile personalisation option with your imagination the only real limitation!
Upload your design or message and using our state of the art laser system we will burn away the first few layers of the cover to reveal your stunning design.
Suitable for: Linen | Hessian | Suede | Vegan Leather

PAPER OPTIONS
You have four stunning paper finishes to choose from with our Matted Album, allowing even more creative freedom when designing your album.
A stunning, natural photographic finish with subtle colours and a slightly stippled texture. The Lustre option is a very versatile paper, working well with all photographic images.
Beautiful colour representation and incredibly detailed in highlights and shadow areas. Due to its lack of a sheen (unlike Gloss Papers) it makes the perfect choice for album prints as it avoids any additional glare and is less easily marked by fingerprints.
The Gloss finish of this paper accentuates the colours of your image, giving a punchy, rich feel. When compared to the Lustre it produces a higher contrast in your work with a vivid, glossy finish which is perfect for high impact work.
Velvet’s coating has a zero-reflective top layer which creates a stunningly soft and deep-matte effect whilst protecting the print from fingerprints much more than standard photographic or Fine Art papers. This makes it perfect for albums which are likely to be handled and images that require no shine or reflections at all. This paper offers a very soft, sensual feel and touch, with deep, beautiful colour representation. As a professional photographer you can present your photos in a creative and innovative way – this paper turns your photos into fine art.
