Accordion Books

I love accordion books, and with the holidays coming around, these beautiful, press-printed books make great Christmas presents for family! Accordion books are available in standard 4×8″ size, as well as wallet-size 2 3/8 x 3 3/8″ mini books. Since even the standard size is smaller than a press-printed album, they make great alternatives at lower cost. Plus, you can carry them around in your purse and have photos of your loved ones with you all the time! Seniors, moms, and grandparents all love these!

Cover options: luster or metallic paper
Inside paper options: standard semi-gloss, art watercolor, art linen, art recycled, pearl

Semi-gloss has a smooth, polished, glossy feel to it. Art watercolor and art linen are textured papers, and art recycled is smooth non-glossy. Pearl is my personal favorite and is…well…simply beautiful. It’s also smooth, but what makes it so special and beautiful is that it’s glittery! And I’m a girl at heart…I love shine and glitter! Pearl is absolutely perfect for portraits and weddings…

ACCORDION BOOK MINIS

Here is a sample accordion book mini design.

The mini book has 6 pages that unfold in accordion fashion.

The mini books have 14 customizable panels plus the cover. Here’s what the inside front panels of this book design look like:

And here’s what the back panels look like:

STANDARD 4X8 ACCORDION BOOKS

Here are three designs that we’ve got in the studio. Note that the background colors on any of the designs can be changed. I’ve shown you a few sample colors below on the Elegant and Little Darling designs. Also, on the standard size accordion books, there’s an option to add an inside cover panel image. I show you a sample in the Christmas-themed Elegant design and the first (purple & orange) Little Darling design below.
