FAQ’s

Eco- leather is a synthetic leather look alike. It has a clean, consistent look, and the feel of real leather (see top book in photo photo below). It’s an excellent alternative to real leather, giving you the same look for less money.

Real leather is handcrafted from leather hides and may have slight variation in the texture, adding to its natural authenticity and buttery feel. It’s truly magnificent! Our upgraded leather covers also have a more padded look adding even more luxury to your book (see bottom book in photo below). Working with real leather is a little more labor intensive and it also has a higher material cost so it’s considered an upgrade to our standard eco-leather cover.

Yes! We offer foil stamping on Layflat and Flush Mount albums. Foil stamping is a process in which you can personalize the cover of your book with a name or small message. We have multiple font styes and sizes to choose from. The maximum number of characters will depend upon the size book and the foil stamping you selected. Your message is then stamped into the cover material with a color foil or blind debossed with no color.

Currently you can add 1 line of text on front cover and one on the spine. 14pt font is used for the spine printing. We often suggest to use all caps as it prints better on the leathers.

The Serif and San Serif fonts come in 14pt, 36pt and 96pt. The Script font only comes in 36pt so it can only be used for front cover and no option will present itself on the options page for the spine as it does not come in the 14pt size. You cannot mix font styles or foil colors.

PLEASE NOTE: Foil stamped or debossed covers must be configured on the production selection page. The editing tool does not currently support editing the foil stamping in the software. If you do not like the way it looks in the software, you must go back the the selection page to redo the cover. You must be 100% sure of your cover before starting your book layout as if you want to make changes, you will need to start your layout all over again. Pricing for embossing is $6.00. per line of text.

Spine printing is available on Hardcover & Softcover Photo Books and Layflat Albums. Spine printing is not available on Flush Mount Albums at this time. The software will guide you on placement and size of font.
