Are conventional photo books too bulky or expensive for you? Then our photo booklets are a clever alternative for you! Especially if you want to print many copies, the cost advantage of photo booklets is clearly noticeable. While 100 photo books can quickly tear a hole in your wallet, 100 photo booklets can be printed for a small price.
As an alternative to the old-fashioned photo book, photo booklets are a smart idea for capturing your favourite photos on paper. In this article, we introduce you to innovative formats with a magazine and newspaper look that put your snapshots in the limelight with skill and style.

Why photo booklet & no photo book?
Compared to heavy and clunky photo books, photo booklets offer you 3 important advantages:
✔ Cheap printing: Especially with larger quantities, the printing costs for classic photo books quickly shoot up. Photo booklets, on the other hand, can be produced particularly inexpensively. Even with large order quantities, the costs per piece always remain manageable. Depending on the print run, paper and number of pages, the price can even be as low as 1 euro per copy. This is unimaginable for photo books ...
✔ Slim design: Photo books don't take up much space. Whether as a personal photo album, a photo gift for the family or as a professional display in your photo studio - photo booklets are easy to transport from A to B as a souvenir and can be stored anywhere. Where 5 photo books already fill an entire row of cabinets, you can store a whole stack of photo booklets at once.
✔ Cross-page panorama pictures: With many photo books there is a white margin around the pages, which inevitably has to remain free. This is a pity because you lose great design possibilities. In contrast, photo books allow you to print your large-format pictures on a continuous double-page spread. These so-called panorama prints are a chic wow effect that magically attracts the eye.

💡 TIP
To get the look & feel of an original newspaper, it is best to choose our thin and greyish 60 g/m² paper. If, on the other hand, you prefer a newspaper with sturdier pages and stronger colours, then the 80 g/m² and the 90 g/m² papers are of interest to you. At this point, however, there is no general better or worse. It all depends on how newspaper-like you want your alternative to a photo book to be. As a rule of thumb you can remember: The lighter the paper, the more pronounced the newspaper character.
