It lands, it does not flutter
250 GSM is closer to a card than a magazine. The page turns with weight. Thin stock buckles. This one stays put on a lap.
The book
Paper you can feel before you read a caption.
Most custom books stop at 170 GSM. We start at 250. Same spec on Classic and Grand — printed in India, lay-flat, archival matte.
The book
Built for the living room, not the storage box.
Most custom photo books use thin 130 to 170 GSM stock. We use 250 GSM premium matte. High-quality, thick pages that feel closer to card than paper.

250 GSMour starting point is everyone else's most expensive tier.
Lay-flat bindingexpensive to make, standard on every order. Spreads open flat so nothing is lost in the fold.
Archival Matte Finishno glare, no fingerprints, no fading.
Hardcoverbuilt for a lifetime of page-turns.
Titled spineyour title printed on the spine. The part guests actually see on a shelf.
What you notice first
Closer to card than paper.
Colour that survives noon
HP Indigo plus archival matte. No cheap-dot look, no coffee-table glare. A south-facing room does not wipe the blacks.
The fold is part of the photo
Lay-flat binding is standard, not an upgrade. A face, a horizon, a full-bleed road — nothing disappears into the spine.
Side by side
One spec. No cheaper edition underneath.

Classic or Grand
The size changes. The paper does not.
Classic is 20 pages from ₹3,499. Grand is 40 pages from ₹4,499. Both are 250 GSM archival matte, HP Indigo, lay-flat hardcover, titled spine. You are not paying extra to avoid a flimsy version. There is no flimsy version.

Built for the living room, not a drawer.
Leave it out
Matte hides fingerprints. It is made for a table, not a sleeve in a cupboard.
Daylight is fine
Archival stock is built for real rooms. Avoid only long, direct sun on the same open spread.
Wipe, do not polish
A dry cloth is enough. No cleaners, no gloss spray. The paper is the finish.
