Yearbook Binding Options

You may have already heard about YearbookLife’s great creative options when looking to create your school’s yearbook, but if not it is time you were let in on the secret! YearbookLife has great options for binding your yearbook and giving it a little more attitude. Not only can our yearbook binding options give your yearbook more style, but we also help you choose which binding is best for your based on how many pages will be included in your yearbook.

All of our yearbook covers will be laminated to eliminate the worry of ruining your yearbook if something were to spill on it. Some of our great cover options include foiling, embossing, debussing, head and foot bands, padded and or leatherette, and custom and one-color-end-sheets. We offer hard cover and soft cover yearbook binding. Our regular hard cover binding is a great option for most sized yearbooks from 24 pages to 200 pages. If you are looking for a hard cover yearbook for a much larger yearbook exceeding 200 pages the the Smythe sewn hard cover binding is your best option. If the soft binding is what you are looking for, the saddle stitch-stapled binding is best for a yearbook under 94 pages. Our perfect-bound glued binding is a great soft cover for books over 94 pages, but fewer than 140 pages.

Don’t forget to make sure your yearbook looks its best inside and out. With our great yearbook binding options, the outside will certainly add flare to your yearbook. With our great software, the inside of your yearbook will be perfect! Contact YearbookLife today to find out more about our great yearbooks!

Digitizing Yearbooks

Technology is something that is still growing and changing daily. So it is no surprise, when new technology comes out that can greatly helps us achieve what we need or want to get, only faster and easier than you could before.  Technology has had a big impact on the yearbook process! Efforts are underway to digitize yearbooks, making it easier to find old family and friends. This effort is called the eBlack Champaign-Urbana project.  This project reaches out to Champaign and Urbana high school.

What does digitizing a yearbook really do to make things easier you may ask? If you are planning a high school reunion and need photographs to put together you would be able to simply go online to this resource and find exactly what you need! The eBlack Champaign-Urbana project focuses largely on the preservation of African-American history and culture dating to the 1950’s in the area and going until the 1980’s. This technology has the potential to spread like wildfire to other area’s who wish to also electronically document their schools history. The eBlack Champaign-Urbana project makes it possible to search for anyone to get pictures from the yearbooks they want, without having to cut from an existing yearbook.  The spread of technology has again made our lives easier!

By putting a copy of a yearbook online, you give everyone access to their past. If your yearbook was damaged or you want copies of photos, you can easily access an online version of your yearbook.
