Why choose a spiral-bound photo album? All the advantages

When choosing a photo album, the question of the type of album arises. Beyond the theme of the photo album, or even the selected format, you must consider the protection of this object designed to last. Whether it's for a photo book or an album, spiral binding is generally highly recommended. It is obvious when aiming to create something personalized like an album or a book, that the binding should be as durable as possible, and of good quality.

The main advantages of the spiral-bound album

Spiral binding offers numerous advantages to your photo album; it's because it is the most secure for album quality that it is also more costly than stapled or flat binding. Choosing a spiral-bound photo album is choosing security, ensuring the album does not get damaged, and that the different pages do not deteriorate over time. Moreover, the spiral style makes your album very chic and professional.

Indeed, when you want to do professional photos, whether for a modeling shoot or to present your various artistic creations through a portfolio, spiral binding, being the best possible binding, is highly recommended. Conversely, it is challenging to find apparent faults with this type of binding, while other types do have a few.

Perfect paper hold

Indeed, this spiral binding is very practical and pleasant for an album or a photo book. First, because it allows turning the pages entirely, unlike other types of borders that do not allow the pages to be turned completely. Generally, in this kind of book, turning the pages regularly and quickly will eventually damage the spine. This is not the case for spiral binding.

Secondly, because an album with spiral binding can be fully personalized. For example, the cover. A very important element of the item, the cover can be designed in any way, and the other pages as well, because you won’t have to worry about turning the pages. For instance, in some picture books, the spine gets damaged quickly, so you can't see what’s on the side of the page.

It is also worth noting that, with a spiral binding, it's possible to add a laminated cover, which brings even more protection and security to your album or photo book.

So, to summarize, spiral binding offers advantages such as:

1. Very good album quality, where the spine doesn't get damaged over time
2. The ability to turn the pages completely
3. The possibility to fully personalize the album
4. The option to add a plastic cover to the album or book

A very neat design

Another great advantage of this type of binding is its aesthetic aspect. Indeed, the spirals give a very nice touch to the album or photo book.

What format to adopt for a spiral-bound photo album?

To create a photo album, you need to choose several things besides your binding. Indeed, whether it’s about paper type, number of pages, format, or theme, choices need to be made. The factor most likely to be influenced by your choice of spiral binding is the album format. Indeed, as we will see, landscape or square formats are more suitable for this type of binding.

For these two formats, different dimensions can be chosen. Indeed, a small landscape album will be 21 x 15 cm, while a large landscape format will be 29.7 x 21 cm. The same goes for the square format, the small square measures 21 x 21 cm, while a large square will be 30 x 30 cm. For spiral albums, it is recommended to choose a larger format. Simply because it is better adapted to a large frame and spirals.

To achieve a successful photo album, the different photos must perfectly match the format and be well-positioned. Thus, your album will be perfectly coherent. In the end, all the elements are there for you to choose a spiral album, but it also depends on your budget and desires.
