Quality binding, designed to endure
Inch by inch, page by page, your life story is lovingly put together. We chose our binding methods to ensure your memories last lifetimes. For our Classic Photo Books, we use PUR binding, the preferred method of 'perfect' binding. One of the most popular book making techniques in use today, it produces long lasting keepsakes and leaves a crisp, clean finish.
4-color printing with top grade inks
Your image selection will be brilliantly reproduced in four colors using high quality inks to ensure that your memories don’t fade. Our print methods mean you can capture that ‘forever moment’ for future generations to rejoice in too.
Paper that does your memories justice
To deliver the feast to the eyes your photos deserve, we offer two high quality papers - Satin and Semi-gloss. Satin is less shiny than Semi-gloss but not as muted as Matt. Semi-gloss is available for an additional cost and resembles the look and feel of photo paper.
Seven linen cover options
The mark of a beautiful book is that it is a joy to the touch as well as to look at. Photo books should be an experience. Our range of high-quality linen covers are hand-fitted to protect your book from life’s little knocks and give it a luxurious finishing touch.
Optional hand-bound Presentation Box
Our elegant hand-bound clamshell Presentation Boxes are available as an optional add-on and are purpose made for the medium or large MILK Photo Books. Finished in your choice of 7 colored linens, our boxes provide protection in style.
Easy layouts thanks to designer templates
Our expert publishers have harvested their many years of knowledge to create templates for you to use, as well as choosing typefaces and font sizes to make your book beautiful. Place up to 12 images per page or 24 per spread. Lots of options – all of them elegant. For more design tricks and tips, discover our blog.

PUR binding is a form of perfect binding and is one of the most popular and durable methods in use today. Using Polyurethane Reactive (PUR) adhesive, the strongest book binding glue available, single pages are glued together at the spine. PUR offers superior flexibility meaning that while the pages of PUR bound books will bow from the center, lay-flat capabilities will improve over time with repeated use. Learn more about our binding process.
There are two paper stock options available for our Classic Photo Book range. All paper stocks are archival quality and sustainably certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®). This means not only are our papers environmentally friendly, but they won't decompose or discolor with age. Our Classic Photo Book range offers the below paper options:
- Satin - 170gsm. Classic white color. Our most popular paper. A white coated stock with a slight sheen that produces the most true to life print result in our range.
- Semi-gloss - 190gsm. Classic white color. A thick, smooth paper with a clear, vibrant print result and lustrous finish with the look and feel of traditional photo paper. Note, Semi-gloss paper comes with an additional cost per page.
At MILK, we wrap your memories in the finest quality fabrics. Our Classic Linen is a lightly textured, woven fabric and available in a choice of seven colors for an understated, elegant feel. The following colors are available:
- Sand
- Ivory
- Charcoal
- Black
- Ruby Red
- Pale Pink
- Baby Blue
Our Classic Photo Book range is printed in 4-color using cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks. Collectively known as CMYK, the 4-color printing process is the most widely used method for printing full-color images. The method involves the precise application of the colored inks in successive layers of tiny dots to create lifelike, vibrant images. Our 4-color printing is largely comparable to 6-color, with the slight difference being that 4-color printed images may appear slightly grainier than 6-color, which produces smoother gradients.
