Perfect in Every Detail: The Headband

All coffee table books printed on inkjet paper include an elegant headband at no extra charge.
Created in white or black to match your selected endpaper, the headband evokes the craftsmanship of traditional art books. It not only visually enhances your design but also adds structure and protection — reducing the gap between the binding and the spine, and shielding your book from dust and wear.

A small detail with a major impact, underscoring the high quality and artistry of every Photography and Movies production.
