Digital printing processes enable the economical production of photo books at a quantity of one. Unfortunately, digital printing does nothing to improve the creation process. The typical photo book project requires customers to complete their photo book prior to ordering. The customer cannot easily add pages, photos, or new information without reordering the entire book. To address these difficulties and to allow customers to complete their photo book as life happens, Creative Memories has adapted traditional strap-hinge binding technology for digital production. With the Custom Album Page, customers receive all the advantages of a high-quality photo books, including a personalized cover and layflat pages, in a form that allows individual pages to be added or updated at a later time. In addition, the Custom Album Page meets all customer requirements for photo book durability and longevity.
