Page Options

All pages are archival quality, acid free and photo safe. Photo-safe permanent glue dots are recommended for adhering photos and media to page options with a cardstock backing.

1. CARDSTOCK
Premium heavyweight cardstock that will not degrade your photos, writing, or artwork over time. This is a good option for a guest book, journal, or sketchbook. Also available in black by request.
To select this option, choose “Cardstock” in the page options drop-down menu.

2. RECYCLED CARDSTOCK
100% Recycled environmentally friendly cardstock. This premium off-white cardstock is made using no new trees and is 100% post consumer fiber. This stock has a neutral pH, it is chlorine free, archival quality, acid free and FSC certified. This is a good option for an environmentally friendly guest book or journal.
To select this option, choose “Recycled Cardstock” in the page options drop-down menu.

3. DOUBLE THICK CARDSTOCK
Premium double thick heavyweight cardstock that will not degrade your photos, writing, or artwork over time. This is a good option for instant photo guest books, scrapbook journals, or multimedia sketchbooks. Also available in black by request.
To select this option, choose “DBL Thick Cardstock” in the page options drop-down menu.

4. TORN EDGE PAGES
High quality heavyweight pages with hand torn edges that give an ultra rustic and vintage look. Also available in black by request. Specialty papers may be available for this option – inquire for availability.
To select this option, choose “Torn Edge Pages” in the page options drop-down menu.

5. ALTERNATING CARDSTOCK AND CLEAR PAGES
Alternating pages of premium cardstock (described above) and clear/transparent archival plastic sheets (every second page is clear plastic). This option makes it easy to access the cardstock to write on or adjust photos, but still adds a layer of protection for the contents of the book. The plastic is NOT STICKY. This is a great option when both sides of the pages will be used and easy access to them is ideal. This option helps protect your contents from smudges and transferring when the book is closed. This is a popular option for guest books and journals.
To select this option, choose “Cardstock + Clear” in the page options drop-down menu. Also available in black by request.

6. SCRAPBOOK ALBUM PAGES
Clear plastic scrapbook style pockets (one large pocket encasing premium heavyweight cardstock). Cardstock can be slid out and photos can be adhered, or you can add your own pages. This option is ideal for use in projects where additional protection is needed and where multiple sized photos/media are being added.
To select this option, choose “Scrapbook Album” in the page options drop-down menu.

NOTE: For wedding guest books, it is recommended that you remove all pages and have guests fill them out separately, then add them back into the book at a later time - otherwise this option is not recommended for guest books. Removing the cardstock from the protective sleeves and then re-inserting it can make signing your guest book a challenge.

7. PROFESSIONAL SCRAPBOOK ALBUM PAGE
The highest quality available, these are a thicker more durable version of the standard scrapbook album pages. These are ideal for business, professionals, or any projects that require a higher level of protection for archival. This is a popular choice for portfolios, family chronicles and wedding albums with multiple sizes of photos, and memorial books.
To select this option, choose “Pro Scrapbook Album” in the page options drop-down menu.

8. PROFESSIONAL SLOTTED ALBUM PAGES
The highest quality available, these are thick and durable clear archival album pages with slots to fit three 4x6” photos per side of each page. These are ideal for businesses, professionals, or any projects that require a higher level of protection for archival. This is a popular choice for family chronicles and albums, wedding albums for 4x6” photos, and memorial photo albums.
To select this option, choose “Pro Slotted Album” in the page options drop-down menu.

Care Information

For best care, keep your piece in a climate controlled space avoiding extreme hot, cold, dry, and damp exposure.

To care for the leather spine, rub a small amount of leather conditioner into the surface avoiding contact with the pages. Repeat this when the leather looks and feels dry. Conditioning will preserve and prolong the life, look, and feel of your piece.

Q&A

QUESTION: Can pages be added to my book later on? For example, can I order a 30 page book and add 30 pages down the road to make a 60 page book?

ANSWER: No. Spines are made to a precise size to fit the exact number of pages giving these pieces a tight custom-made feel. For example, the spine of a 60 page book is twice the thickness of a 30 page book with the same type of paper. This means that pages cannot be added later on because there isn't space to accommodate them.

QUESTION: Can I take out some page and add my own?

ANSWER: No. Each book is sealed tight. While this is technically possible, you risk damaging the piece if you try this.

QUESTION: Can I send in photos ir pages and have them added to my book?

ANSWER: You can request a custom order by sending an email to orders@rusticengravings.com Your request will be accommodated when its possible.
