A4 Softcover photobooks are a great inexpensive option if you want to share a copy with many people or showcase a product but the budget for your photobooks is limited. The binding is saddle stitched (staple in the spine) and the default option is a self-cover (cover same paper as inside). If you are looking for a thicker cover choose the card cover, this is NOT a hardcover but the cover is thicker than the paper inside. As softcover photobooks aren’t protected by a hardcover, they aren’t as durable and will wear with touch in time. If you’re after something more long-wearing we suggest our hardcover photo books, but often softcover photobooks can serve a specific purpose and budget.
