Whether a wedding sign-in book or an eye-catching coffee table book, Layflat Photobooks are beautiful and functional.

Layflat books do just that, lay in a flat manner when you place them on the table so you can see every spread fully. No need to use your elbows or the weight of a soup can in order to keep the spread open and available to the eye.

Layflat Books vs Albums

Layflat books differ from albums in their construction. The two pages in a lay flat are simply glued together rather than having an insert board between them. While layflat pages are thick, the insert boards used in the album create additional thickness and rigidity.

A key advantage of layflat books is the ability to have more spreads than an album. See the Comparison Chart of Albums & Photobooks for additional information.
