Creating the Album
Creating the cover is one of the most exciting moments in the book design process. Graphistudio has always offered an immense richness of materials and customizations. In order to guarantee uniqueness and exclusivity, there  covers are all handmade in single copy, on the basis of the aesthetical sensibility and choices made by each client.The combination of the material, color and front panel layout is essential: the leathers, the Nappas, the metals or the silks, to name but a few, selected in the preferred tones, embrace die-cuts, images, inserts, embossing and seams. The spine and back, which enrich the front cover, can be chosen to match the main chromatic tones or to elegantly contrast them with colors and textures.

Below are some of the leather colours 
 
 


The papers

You can choose the photographic or the metallic paper with digital laser printing, or as an alternative, the textured, smooth or pearl paper with digital offset printing.

All options are available with glossy or matte lamination with the exception of the metallic paper which is already laminated by default

The Block

To enhance and preserve the high fidelity of the book prints, Graphistudio has invented and patented a revolutionary binding system, whose superior quality is literally self evident. The perfectly lay-flat opening allows a panoramic and detailed view of the whole spread, including the parts positioned over the seam. The result is a nearly cinematographic, captivating experience. The innovative mechanics of the block guarantees a quality unalterable throughout the years.
 

The Linings

The accurate preparation and attention to the details is what distinguish a quality product. Among these details, one of the most important is the lining: its color guarantees a harmonic combination between the outside and inside of the book, and its texture creates a balanced link between the precious cover material and the finishing of the pages. Apart from these aesthetical reasons, the linings play a basic role in the mechanical connection between the cover and the block. For this reason only the best cloths are used to fulfill this essential function. The color palette is extremely wide, as is the refined choice of the spun cloths available
 

Small copies.
 
Sharing the most treasured moments with your loved ones is an intense and universal desire, especially when this unrepeatable combination of emotions and art constitutes the visual story of the wedding. The parent and pocket books have been specifically created to fulfill this desire. Their measurements, perfectly proportional to those of the main books, are designed to allow the printing of exact copies with no need to modify or adapt the original files. From the enjoyable 8x12”, which can be dressed with a cover identical in material and layout to the one of primary book, to the surprising 2x2.5”, a real miniaturization masterpiece.

The parent books

This is the ideal gift for the parents or the closest relatives, and is available in the 8x12”, 6x8” or 4x5” sizes, in any orientation, from one to four copies depending on the size selected. The binding is exactly the same as the main book, and the selection of papers they can be printed on is wide and depends on the size chosen: from the textured or smooth paper, from the pearl to the photographic and on to the metallic. The 8x12” option can be customized with any cover available in our catalogue, while the 6x8” and 4x5” can be produced with either the dust cover jackets or the printed hard back. Each option makes the parent book a precious and authentic combination of the Wedding Book.


The pocket books

You will never part company with them. The opportunity to bring an exact copy of the wedding book with you in the purse or in the jacket is simply too tempting. Not to mention these pocket books offer the chance to present friends with an unmatchable memento to thank them for attending your wedding. Pocket books are available in three different sizes, each with its own specific quantity: 9 4x5” copies, 15 2.5x4” copies or 30 2x2.5” copies in vertical, square or landscape orientation.
They are printed on smooth paper, with perfect binding and soft cover.
