Binding

Stapled or perfect-bound: your call.

Both bindings cost the same for the same page count. It's a matter of taste, and of spine.

Stapled (saddle-stitched)

  • How newsstand magazines are bound: two staples in the fold
  • Opens nice and flat, great for full spreads
  • 20 to 48 pages, in steps of 4 (one folded sheet makes 4 pages)
  • Our pick for a first magazine

Perfect-bound

  • A flat, glued spine, like a special edition
  • Stands up on a bookshelf, with the title on the spine
  • 24 to 48 pages, in steps of 2
  • Feels more like a keepsake, especially past 28 pages

Under 24 pages there aren't enough sheets to glue a spine, so 20 pages only comes stapled.

Every price, page by page.

The price of your first copy, shipping included. It only depends on the page count.

Common questions

All questions

Stapled or perfect-bound: what's the difference?

Stapled (saddle-stitched) is how newsstand magazines are bound: two staples in the fold, and it opens nice and flat. It comes in 20 to 48 pages, in steps of 4. Perfect binding gives you a flat, glued spine, like a special edition: 24 to 48 pages, in steps of 2. Same price for the same page count, so pick the one you like.

How many photos do I need?

About 30 photos for 20 pages, 35 to 50 for 24 pages and 60 to 90 for 48 pages. A few sharp photos beat lots of blurry ones, since the magazine prints them big. You can also add pages in the editor and only pay the difference.

Can I add pages after I pay?

Yes. In the editor you add pages in one click and only pay the price difference between the two page counts.

What's the paper like?

Stapled magazines are printed on 130 gsm coated paper with a sturdier 250 gsm cover; perfect-bound ones on 170 gsm with a 200 gsm cover. It feels substantial in your hands and the photos don't show through from one page to the next.

Can I order more than one copy?

Yes, when you buy or right before it prints. Each extra copy costs much less than the first, a little less with each one you add, and they all ship in the same box. Handy for one each, or one for the parents.

Why do I pay before I make it?

So you're never rushed. Your credit waits for you for 60 days: no expiring cart, no timer. Make it on a free evening, alone or together, and come back as often as you like. Need more time? We extend it, no questions asked, by 30, 60 or 90 days, in one click or by replying to our email.

How many pages is your story?

Choose now, make it whenever you like. You can always add pages later.
