Now you've chosen your material and colour you should think about how you will personalise the cover...
 

On the Front Cover you can have, one or two lines of text in one of our standard fonts, there are lots of options for the two lines of text. Take your time, to think about what you might like it to say and then have a look at the options below to decide how you would like it displaying on your photo book. 

​

DEBOSSING
Also known as blind blocking or stamping, but the same magical process. They use traditional methods to imprint letters into the cover without ink or foil. It’s an elegant, tactile finish.

LASER ENGRAVING
To engrave your text or logo, our highly accurate laser removes the material’s top layer to reveal its natural hues beneath.

COVER PRINTING
The latest personalisation technique, but it can achieve either a modern or classic look. We can print directly onto most of the materials in either black or white ink.

FOIL BLOCKING
A really eye-catching finish. As with debossing, they imprint letters into the material, but press metallic foil into the indentation.

22 CARAT GOLD
My suppliers can now finish the leather album covers with real 22 carat gold lettering and logos. It’s a dazzling look and we think is a first among UK-based album makers. (Additional charge.)

 

PALLADIUM
This lustrous silvery-white metal looks heavenly on the leather covers and can be used for either lettering or logos.
