Zookbinders The PhotoBook ~ Out of the Box!

April 7th, 2009

Once again we take a look at Zookbinders, one of our favorite album suppliers. Their new line, called The PhotoBook, is outstanding. Printing, materials, and workmanship are always consistent in our experience. These press-printed books launched in 2007 as a very good, notable option in this highly popular, rapidly growing category. Zookbinders continually improves on this line and they are now exceptional in many ways. Plus, new features are being released soon, but to find out what they are, you have to watch the in-depth review. We have a bunch of these to show you in various sizes in this episode of What’s in the Box.

Correction: In our review we describe the page laminate as “UV” coating. It is not a UV coating that Zookbinders uses in The PhotoBook, but a high-quality glossy laminate which actually provides more strength, durability, and thickness to the pages. We apologize for the misinformation.

Zookbinders is consistently excellent!

    I know in the past you said these wouldn’t be good for guestbooks because of the coating on the pages. Have you been able to try out the pen Zookbinders now sends with them if they know it’s a guestbook?

    We have not had opportunity to try out the pen, but are confident that if it is coming from Zookbinders, it will work great. We are sure they test out their products thoroughly and offer only the best. However, since you bring it up, we will definitely look into it. Thanks!

    Question; if you had to choose between Finao and Zookbinders, who would you go with?

    John, all the major album producers make beautiful, high-quality albums, so choosing the right one depends on your own style, your clients desires, and sometimes their budget. We think it’s best to use products that best match the specific client or event.

    Is there a price difference between the wraparound cover and the black linen cover for the PhotoBook?

    Lindsey, there is price difference between the covers. Zookbinders will be happy to give you those prices as a pro photographer.
