Here are five reasons why we reckon you should give Queensberry Photo Books a try 1. Quality and presentation matter The fact we've worked hard to make Photo Books more affordable doesn't mean they're lower quality. They're built to the same standard as our albums — the same cover construction, the same cover materials, the same quality control and attention to detail. Presentation is important too. Our Photo Books are presented in a our grey suede bag. We deliver freight-free to you, or directly to your clients.  2.   More pages Photo Books come with up to 80 lightweight To View More >>

The presentation boxes our albums come in don’t even bear our name, but to us, and our customers, they're a key part of our identity, and express the quality and classic design we stand for. Like Tiffany’s Blue Boxes … but maybe not quite as famous! Our boxes must be intensely practical too, and work across a huge variety of sizes, colours and cover materials. So when we redesigned them in 2016 we didn't throw out the old ones, we refreshed and upgraded them — with more silkscreen passes, new colours and matching grey To View More >>

Tessa Williams from Moemoea Collective is a family portrait photographer based in Upper Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand. "Whanau is my first priority in life, so I love to photograph others who feel the same. My style is contemporary, relationship-focused imagery filled with lots of life, and I want my client experience to leave you feeling celebrated, valued and with great pride in sharing your story with your loved ones. "I will be exhibiting my first collection of original artwork celebrating the connection between wahine hapu (pregnant women) and Papatuanuku (our earth mother), embracing To View More >>

This is the first of four posts sharing Megan DiPiero’s advice about how to build a stronger brand and brand message— to add purpose to your marketing, draw attention to your service, and ultimately increase sales. “I could be successful if only I knew how to get more people in the door.” “I could be successful if only I could reach the RIGHT people.” “I could be successful if only I knew the magic marketing formula. I know it’s out there. I just need to find it!” Have you said those words to yourself before? Is  marketing the To View More >>

We normally supply our albums in the standard silver-grey leaf-and-crown presentation box, which is included in the price. But sometimes you need a bit more, which is why we also offer an optional Display Box (pictured). Display Boxes  have been a popular upgrade for years. They're a great add-on to any album order, and now we're offering them for 10x10 albums (previously only 12x12 and larger) and in both Pearl and Carbon Buckram. We also introducing more depth options, so we can make them a snugger fit no matter how many pages in your album.  To View More >>

Pagemount vs Overlay We offer a few types of matted album — Overlay Matted, Duo and Musée —and one of the important differences between them is whether the prints are mounted Overlay or Pagemount style. So what's the difference? Overlay: Industry-wide, almost all matted albums are overlay mounted, so overlays may not be new to you. Details may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the photographs are attached behind the mat, which covers and conceals the edge of the prints. You can see this clearly in the first photograph. To View More >>

Copy Albums are easily our most popular "optional extra" and no wonder. They're a really affordable way to spread the album love around family and friends — and perfect for parents, coffee-tables and handbags. What's a Copy Album? As nearly as possible, a small replica of a larger album. You can order copies from Duo, Overlay Matted, Flushmount and Musée originals, but not Q Books or Portrait Albums. They're available in 5-inch, 7-inch and 10-inch sizes (13, 18 and 25cm) — the aspect ratio changes to suit the original. Panorama Flushmount Copy Albums, To View More >>

Canvas covers look great – especially when you add two adorable puppies to the mix. Take a look at this super cute Studio Box we've made for Megan Graham Photography. Unlike buckram-covered Studio Boxes, the printed canvas covers can't be ordered in bulk. We print and fully assemble the mats for you, ready for your customer, although you can order the mats as slip-ins or fully sealed.  Have you ordered a Studio Box yet? Why not try the Canvas Cover option. We think your clients will love it. Order now, or for more details, see our Studio Box page. To View More >>

The presentation box our albums come in has a long history. Developed for us in 1995 by leading designer Donna Hoyle, it combines two graphic elements: a 17th Century Italian text, and a series of leaf and heraldic devices including our own Cherub. It doesn’t even bear our name, but to us, and our customers, it’s a key part of our identity, like Tiffany’s Blue Box… but maybe not as famous! The Box even survived a total rebranding in 2008, when we couldn’t bear to part with it. It was another seven years before we refreshed the design, and even then we built on the To View More >>
