Lamination and square corners are standard on all our custom made albums. All our prints are coated with a clear, water-based lacquer prior to the mounting process. The lacquer is stain and water resistant. As such, this Flush Mount Album is built to last, ensuring years of memories to come. so in real simple terms: It is an investment, but you should Get it, you will love it and cherish it for your lifetime! (and so will your kids, and their kids, and their kids...) (besides it is ultra-chic to show your friends. Take tissues to wipe their joyous/jealous tears!) -----------------------------------------
