Two variables decide the price: format and page count. A third, lamination, is optional and behaves differently from both.
The full ladder
| Pages | Square | A4 | Per 20 pages added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | ₹1,299 | ₹1,399 | — |
| 40 | ₹1,599 | ₹1,699 | +₹300 |
| 60 | ₹1,799 | ₹1,899 | +₹200 |
| 80 | ₹1,999 | ₹2,099 | +₹200 |
| 100 | ₹2,199 | ₹2,299 | +₹200 |
Flat ₹70 delivery on any of them. A4 is ₹100 more at every step.
Where the value sits
The first jump costs most. 20 to 40 pages is ₹300; every step after is ₹200. That is the cover and binding being amortised — a hardcover’s fixed costs sit mostly in the case, not the pages.
Doubling from 20 to 40 pages costs 23% more and holds twice as much. That is the best move on the ladder and the one worth checking your photograph count against before settling for the smallest size.
A4’s premium shrinks as the album grows. The same ₹100 is about 8% on a 20-page album and under 5% on a 100-page one. On a large album, choose the format for your photographs, not for the difference in price. Square or A4 →
Per photograph, a 100-page square album at ₹2,199 holding roughly 400 images is about ₹5.50 each — the lowest of anything we make. Comparing cost per photograph →
The lamination add-on
Optional, and it is the only charge here that scales with size: ₹10 per sheet, where a sheet is two pages.
| Pages | Sheets | Lamination |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | 10 | +₹100 |
| 40 | 20 | +₹200 |
| 60 | 30 | +₹300 |
| 80 | 40 | +₹400 |
| 100 | 50 | +₹500 |
So a laminated 100-page A4 album is ₹2,299 plus ₹500, plus ₹70 delivery. Is album lamination worth it →
What you actually pay, all in
The ladder shows the album. The amount that leaves your account is the album, plus lamination if you tick it, plus delivery. Four common orders, added up:
| Order | Album | Lamination | Delivery | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 pages, square, plain | ₹1,299 | — | ₹70 | ₹1,369 |
| 40 pages, A4, laminated | ₹1,699 | ₹200 | ₹70 | ₹1,969 |
| 60 pages, square, laminated | ₹1,799 | ₹300 | ₹70 | ₹2,169 |
| 100 pages, A4, laminated | ₹2,299 | ₹500 | ₹70 | ₹2,869 |
Prices are in rupees and include taxes, and payment is taken online at checkout — UPI, cards or net banking. There is no cash on delivery, so the total above is paid before design starts. Why we are prepaid only →
Working to a fixed budget
Many people start from a number rather than a page count. Here is what each budget buys once delivery is counted in.
Up to ₹1,500. A 20-page album only: square and plain at ₹1,369, or either square with lamination or A4 plain at ₹1,469. Nothing at 40 pages fits.
Up to ₹2,000. The widest choice on the ladder. A 60-page album plain (₹1,869 square, ₹1,969 A4), or a 40-page album with lamination (₹1,869 square, ₹1,969 A4). If your photographs fill 60 pages, take the pages; if they fill 40 and the book will be handled a lot, take the lamination.
Up to ₹2,500. Either 100-page album plain (₹2,269 square, ₹2,369 A4), an 80-page square album laminated at ₹2,469, or a 60-page A4 album laminated at ₹2,269.
Do not let the budget choose the page count. A ₹2,500 budget and 150 usable photographs is a 40-page album and money left over, not a 100-page one with sixty pages of air. Album page counts →
What is included
Design, sequencing, captions, revisions and the digital proof — at every size, the same as a magazine. There is no separate design fee and no premium tier. What design time actually costs →
What sits outside the ladder
Extra copies. A second or third copy of the same design costs less than the first. It is arranged on WhatsApp when the proof arrives, not through the quantity box at checkout, which charges every album at the full rate. A second copy for another household →
Gift wrap. Available on request — ask when you order, and it is wrapped inside the protective courier packaging.
Weight and distance. Neither changes anything. Delivery is ₹70 per order whether the album is 20 pages going across Noida or 100 pages going to the far end of the country.
Cancelling late. The one deduction worth knowing about before you pay. Within two hours of ordering, before a designer has started, it is a full refund; once the proof has been sent, ₹150 is kept as a design fee and the rest refunded; once you approve the proof, it goes to print and cannot be cancelled. Changing or cancelling an order →
Against the magazine ladder
An album starts where the magazine range ends. A 40-page magazine at ₹1,099 and a 20-page album at ₹1,299 hold about 120 and about 80 images respectively — so the album is not more capacity for the money.
You are paying for the object, not the room: hardcover, lay-flat spreads, heavier paper. If capacity is what you want, the magazine is better value. Price by page count for magazines →
Frequently asked
How much does a photo album cost in India? ₹1,299 to ₹2,199 square, ₹1,399 to ₹2,299 in A4, by page count. Flat ₹70 delivery.
Why is A4 more expensive? A larger sheet. It is ₹100 more at every step, not a premium tier.
How much is lamination? ₹10 per sheet, and a sheet is two pages — so ₹100 on a 20-page album and ₹500 on a 100-page one.
Is an album better value than a magazine? Not per photograph at the small end. A 20-page album holds two-thirds of what a 40-page magazine does. You are buying the object rather than the capacity.
Is design charged separately? No. Design, revisions and the proof are included at every size.
