Lite Album Pricing & Page Estimator
The Lite Album is a layflat album featuring Classic Linen covers and photographic paper. Handcrafted details include thin spreads and cover boards, making it the perfect keepsake for parents, guestbooks, and those looking for a more economical option.
2 pages = 1 spread. Lite Albums are priced by the number of spreads. As you select more favorite photos, you’ll generally need more spreads to tell your story: plan on about 3–5 photos per spread (roughly 1–3 images per page).
Lite Album · Classic Linen · Layflat Photographic PaperBuild Your Lite Album
Pricing is the same for Semi-Matte and Lustre.
All Lite Albums use our Classic Linen line. Color names match the RedTree swatch guide.
We’ll estimate spreads using ~4 photos per spread (between 3–5) and 1–3 per page.
Recommended: 35 spreads (70 pages) based on your favorites.
Lite Albums typically fall between 20–35 spreads (40–70 pages), but you can adjust within 10–50 spreads as needed.
