The binding: Made to showcase
Before you begin creating your precious keepsake, consider the way in which it's bound. The archival paper pages are mounted onto board and then bound to lay perfectly flat upon opening. Not only is this extremely durable, but it allows you to spotlight your most cherished images in a double-page spread, unto itself. That kind of edge-to-edge brilliance elevates an ordinary album to the next level. Imagine it open on your coffee table, for you to enjoy everyday.
The templates: Timeless tales
Telling a story well is an art of skill and experience. With three generations of experience in creating exquisite books, our founders have combined their knowledge to offer a variety of timeless Designer Templates that will do your photos justice. Each one helps to communicate your story with engaging and contemporary layouts that make it easy for you to recreate your memories for a professional finish. Discover our top tips for choosing the right template for your images.
The cover: Your story begins
Set the tone for your Classic Photo Album with a beautiful Classic Linen cover and choose a color to best represent the enclosed precious memories. Make an opening statement with a choice of beautiful cover options, and cherish the feeling of running your fingers across this soft, elegant and inviting material.
The pages: A flawless look
The vibrancy of your images will last for generations as they are flush-mounted on 1.15mm core board leaving you with a luxurious seamless look and feel. Our lay-flat binding allows the spine and pages of your album to open and lie flawlessly flat—perfect for displaying those moments that take your breath away.
Albums with over 46 pages use a thinner, more flexible board (0.88mm compared to 1.15mm) to accommodate the higher page count.
An extra special touch: Add a Presentation Box
With memories that last a lifetime, you'll want an album that does too. Each MILK Classic Photo Album with 24-80 pages has the option of a Presentation Box to further preserve those moments and ensure they’re in perfect condition every time you take them off the shelf and into your life.
The glory: Made to be shared and appreciated
It's not always possible for all of your loved ones to see your new photo album in person. That's why we've made it easy for you to share it with them online. Each album comes with a free Online Photo Book, so you can share the beautiful memories with your friends and loved ones all over the world.

Frequently asked questions
Our Classic Photo Album range is our most affordable, high quality album offering. Simple and elegant, there are two sizes available in landscape orientation and 24-80 thick board pages to house your favorite memories. The range features 4-color printing onto Semi-gloss paper, and flush-mounted lay-flat binding so the albums' pages will lay perfectly flat. Personalize your photo album's look with the choice of seven different Classic Linen cover fabric options.
There are two sizes available:
- Medium Landscape 9.25 x 7.4" (23.5 x 18.8cm)
- Large Landscape 13 x 11" (33.0 x 27.9cm)
Lay-flat binding is a traditional album making technique. We chose this method because it results in the best experience, providing the ability to lay the album completely open and flat across the center fold. Unlike other binding techniques, the images you love won't get lost in the album's gutter, so your beautiful panoramic photos and favorite memories can spread beautifully across two pages.
At MILK Books, our Photo Albums are carefully crafted with 1.15mm thick board pages. They are stiff, inflexible and heavy, creating a high-end, luxurious feel and the ultimate keepsake for your coffee table.
Please note: For albums over 46 pages we will use a marginally thinner board with 0.88mm thickness to accommodate the higher page count.
Our Classic Photo Album range features 260gsm Semi-gloss paper mounted on thick board. A classic White color, this paper type mimics the look and feel of traditional photo paper for a vibrant print result and lustrous finish. Our Semi-gloss paper is acid-free, archival quality and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), meaning that not only will it not discolor or decompose with age, but it has been sourced in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Classic Photo Albums can have from 24 to 80 board pages. Please note: Photo Albums with more than 46 pages use a thinner, more flexible board (0.88mm) to accommodate the higher page count. Presentation Boxes are not available for albums over 64 pages.
4-color printing is the industry standard when it comes to digital photo printing. The CMYK process reproduces photos beautifully and results in a crisp, clean finish. Your memories come to life in 4-color print using cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks that are applied as tiny dots on the paper, successively layered to reproduce thousands of colors. We use the best digital printing technology available, including industry-leading printing presses and inks, to ensure high quality, long-lasting results.
We showcase our customer projects (with their permission) via The MILK Gallery. Here you can browse photo books and albums by theme, product type, range, format and country. Our Classic Photo Albums are popular for those creating wedding, travel or family albums. We love this 26-page Classic Wedding Album by Caitlin from New Zealand, which gives us a glimpse into her and her husband's romance and picturesque South Island nuptials.
