Our new Layflat Photo Books are here and we couldn’t be more excited. Let’s look at what a Layflat Photo Book is and why we think you’ll love to print your favourite photos in this format.
What is a Layflat Photo Book?
Unlike a traditional photo book—like our hardcover and softcover options—a Layflat Photo Book is, as its name suggests, a photo book that lays flat when its pages are open. Why is this important? Two advantages are:
- It allows you to print a single photo across two pages. If you were to do this with a traditional photo book, you would lose part of your image along the gutter (the center crease along the inside of the book).
- Because a Layflat Photo Book's pages can stay open, you can show off your favourite photos more than you could with a traditional photo book. It’s like having endless pieces of photo art you can rotate through, refreshing your decor with new photos whenever you like. They look stunning opened on a coffee table or, another idea, is to display your Layflat Photo Book upright on a shelf, propped in a cookbook stand.
