Our standard laminated hardback is the boss of yearbooks and our most popular book type. Featuring a sturdy hardback cover with a glossy finish, and a low minimum order quantity of 30 copies and between 40-300 pages.

The plain white endpapers may be simple, but they’re absolutely perfect for turning your yearbook into a personal masterpiece. Think of them as a blank canvas just waiting for signatures, doodles, and heartfelt messages from friends.

Premium Laminated Hardback

Our premium laminated hardback yearbooks feature engraved gold or silver foil cover artwork pressed from a cast metal block, customised to your crest or logo.

Printed endpapers inside each cover make the most of your available yearbook pages, lying near-flat to make them ideal for group photos.

Each book is finished with a ribbon bookmark available in a wide choice of colours.

Premium laminated hardback yearbooks have between 40 and 300 pages, with a minimum quantity of 50 copies.

Premium Leatherette Hardback

Our timeless classic leatherette yearbooks provide the same features as our premium laminated hardbacks - engraved gold or silver foil cover art, printed endpapers and a satin ribbon bookmark - with a luxurious leatherette hardback cover instead of the laminated finish.

Premium leatherette hardback yearbooks have between 40 and 300 pages, with a minimum quantity of 50 copies.

See our inspiration guide for our full range of leatherette colours.

TOP TIPS FROM TEAM AYB

Sophie Don't leave your cover till the last second! Get it done and dusted early on and you will have more time to proofread your book at the end.

Alex Before starting the project, ask around and see how many people would like a book - It's a great way to avoid missing copies and it will give you a budget to work towards.

Louise If you are the solo editor of the yearbook, get a second set of eyes on the project. When you've worked on a yearbook for a long time, it's easy to overlook details.

It's also a good idea to get someone to double check everyone who should be in the book is *IN* the book.

Zara Before inviting members to join the book choose your profile layout, add your profile questions and awards. Decide how many photo's you want to include & create labels.

Sally Just a heads-up that we ask for a staff person to proof-read the book, or confirm they are aware of it. The sooner this is organised the better :) Just ask a member of the team if you have any questions about this and we'd be happy to help!

Staff proof-reader checklist: - Are the school aware of the project?

- Would they like to proof-read it?

- Do you have an email for a staff member who can confirm that?

Cover Design

We believe you should ALWAYS judge a book by its cover. Cover design is so important to us we have a dedicated cover designer to work with you.

Select from our cover templates, and our designer can personalise them using your school or group's distinctive colours. If you prefer to include names and numbers on the back of your yearbook, just inform your designer.

If you want to design your own cover, you can do that too just ask us for dimensions.

Themes

We've created the ultimate hack for our customers with our selection of themed books.

Scrapbook

Visit allyearbooks.co.uk/yearbook_themes or scan the QR code to explore our full range of themed yearbooks—we’ve got something for everyone! Each theme comes with all the layouts you’ll need, including beautifully designed profile pages to match. Want to tweak the colours? No problem! Every theme is fully customisable to suit your style.

Red & Black Creative Geometric

Profile pages

The Profile page - where student content comes to life! Pages are auto-filled from the information entered by the student or collected by editors. All content is kept secure off page, safe from accidental deletion.

We find it best to invite students to the yearbook to fill in their profile content and contribute online as it increases engagement and a buzz around the project - that being said, if you work better alone or in a small team, you can collect the profile content off line to add it all yourself.

With a large selection of profile layouts to choose from, we'll have just the one you're looking for!

Whether that be 1 student per double page spread or a spread to fit a whole class of 30. And the best part? They're all customisable, add your school colours and fun fonts with ease.

Customise

Elevate your yearbooks design by customising your pages. We have an extensive catalogue of high-res graphics and clipart, great backgrounds and a whole library of fonts!

Graphics and clipart Our graphics and clipart is catalogued by type alphabets, arrows, comic explosions, photo frames, post-its and so much more.

Our themed books also come with their own specially designed graphics.

Use our graphics and clipart to bring extra flair to your yearbook! Add fun touches to your sports day collage, create a vibrant welcome page, pin teacher messages to a corkboard, or dedicate a page to an inspirational quote.

Fonts Our font palette gives you 5 fonts to choose from, you can use the same set throughout your entire book or switch it up on every page.

With over 600 Google fonts available, the possibilities are endless! Whether you’re into fancy scripts, elegant handwriting, timeless classics, or playful styles, we’ve got the perfect fonts to match your yearbook’s vibe!

Custom pages Designed an awesome page in Canva or Photoshop? No worries! You can easily upload your creations into our software, we'll provide the exact page dimensions, with or without bleed. For double-page spreads, just split the file into two single pages, and you’re good to go! Simple and seamless!

Colours You have a palette of 5 colours, plus black & white for every page - each completely customisable. Have school colours you want to use - we can colour match using the school website for you. Have pantone colours - we can match to those too!

Apply the same colours throughout your whole book for a cohesive theme or go wild and use different colours on each page.

Your colour palette can be used on your text, pic frames, fill shapes and backgrounds.

Collages

Creating a collage page of photos is the perfect way to capture the vibe of your year at a glance!

Collage pages are super easy to make, simply click and drag photos from your library and you've created a beautiful page in seconds.

Designing your own and editing our templates is a doddle too - collages are a great way to let your creativity shine!

Collages are a fun, creative way to showcase a mix of candid moments, group shots, and those spontaneous snaps that don’t quite fit anywhere else.

Our software makes it super easy to customise your collage pages.

Change your frame colours, remove frames for a clean modern look, use our fun in-software clipart and backgrounds to add personality and to theme your collage page (hello sports day!). Add headers and text boxes to title and caption the photos. The sky's the limit!

Awards

Awards made simple - add your award titles and when the students log in they can vote for sportiest student, funniest laugh or the next Prime Minister!

Of course, we have pre-designed award layouts ready for you to use in your yearbooks - but did you know we have lot's of award styles to choose from too? Sometimes it's not all about the winner, we need to know who those runner-ups were.
