What are Hardcover Photo Books?

A Hardcover Photo Book is the perfect way to preserve and protect your memories.

Designed with longevity and style in mind, here’s what makes them so special:

  • Durable cover: The defining feature of a Hardcover Photo Book is its robust, rigid cover, made from thick binder's board. This provides excellent protection, while a scratch-resistant lamination enhances its resilience and appearance.
  • Professional binding: Journi uses strong binding techniques to ensure your book lasts for years to come. 
  • Protective lamination: A thin layer of lamination protects your cover from scratches, moisture, and fingerprints.
