Custom Photo Books

Photo Book Design Service

Let us do the hard work for you

Our most popular product for a reason – Nimsy Books’ Custom Photo Book Design takes all the hassle out of printing your photos. Simply fill out an order form, give us your photos, and we’ll do the rest.

Whether your book is for a gift, special keepsake, or a reminder of the year that just passed, we will work with your ideas to create a unique book that preserves your memories in print.

Choose from three different photo book styles:

Traditional

Lay-Flat

Flush mount

Traditional

Traditional style photo books are perfect every day albums, suitable for a wide range of applications.

Pages are bound in the centre (similar to other books you may have at home). This results in a “gutter” in the middle of a double page spread, meaning that photos stretched over the entire spread will have some content lost in the binding. Photos placed near the centre margin may also be slightly harder to see, especially in thick books. The Nimsy Books team takes care to minimise the impact of the gutter through careful photo placement and expert page design.

Suggested uses: Annual family album; holiday album; gift; handwritten messages; historic family photos; collection of child’s artwork; teacher gift

Lay – Flat

Lay-flat style photo books are great “something special” albums.

Pages are hinged, and bound in the centre. This results in your pages lying flat without a central gutter (no content is lost). As a spread is made from two separate pieces of paper, a thin black line is visible in the centre margin. This means that photos stretched over an entire spread will have a slight break in the middle. All lay-flat paper stocks are thick and luxurious, these books are perfect for occasions that demand a touch of class.

Suggested uses: Milestone birthday gift; professional photo shoot; guest book; wedding album; annual family album
