There are different variations of layflat book creations, one of them being a continuous sheet of paper for each page folded down the center and glued to the next spread.

Another variation is two or more sheets instead of individual pages glued into the binding. We custom make each and every layflat photo book to museum quality standards. Ensuring each book has a long life span, our clients use them as a photography portfolio book, wedding albums, safari and excursions. 

While we work with many clients on the personal side, we also work with numerous institutions, governments, executives and other corporations to create gift sets, retirement gifts, alumni and donor gifts.
