Photo Book Pricing

Viovio is committed to providing the highest quality photo books available while keeping prices as low as possible. You may wonder why our prices are so low and why we are committed to keeping prices low.

Since every photo book is different, we have a simple formula to determine each book's price:

Base Cost + (Number of Pages * Page Cost) = Cost of Photo Book

For example, a 9x7 photo book has a $4.99 base cost, which includes all production costs such as set up and binding. The per page price is 25 cents per page, NOTE: each side of a piece of paper is a page — just like a novel. Shipping cost depends on the ship method you select and your ship to destination.

Example for a 20 page perfect bound softcover book: $4.99 + (20 * $.25) = $9.99

Our product catalog has pricing on additional sizes.

Make Mine Silk!

Our base cost is quoted for a digital satin finish for the interior pages. Many of our books have purchase time options you can add when placing your book into your shopping cart. For example, if you prefer a gloss look for your images we offer digital silk paper for just 15% more. The paper will enhance the look of your printed images, and protect the pages in case a spill occurs. You will have time to wipe the spill off the book before the pages start soaking it up.

Bulk Up!

We also offer tremendous savings for bulk orders.

QuantityBulk DiscountExample 20 Page Soft Cover Book
1 $9.99

10-99 10% $8.99
100-499 15% $8.49
500+ 20% $7.99


To receive bulk pricing, simply add your book to your cart and increase the quantity. Your order total will be adjusted automatically. That's all there is to it!


Below are a few questions we receive on a regular basis about costs:

Pricing and Shipping FAQ

What does it cost to print a soft cover photo book?

we offer a variety of trim sizes and they each are priced using the formula base cost + per page cost. Here is a link to our product catalog that lists the trim sizes and prices

How long are the production and shipping times?

The production process (printing) takes 8 business days for orders with 20 or fewer soft cover books. The production process is 14 business days for the Pro bound hard cover books and 8 business days for the Quick bound hard cover books. The shipping time depends on the shipping method selected and the destination. Bulk orders (over 20 books per order) are produced within 10 business days.

My deadline is tight! Is expediting my order possible?

Orders that meet the following criteria are eligible for expedited manufacturing.

  • Soft cover book
  • Single title (Orders containing multiple titles cannot be expedited)
  • Saddle-stitched or perfect-bound (coil-bound and hardcover books are not eligible)
  • No more than 10 copies

Orders must be placed before 3PM (EST) to be shipped by the end of the next business day. The cost for expedited manufacturing is 25% of the ENTIRE order. Expedited orders are processed manually, and we suggest you email support@viovio.com as well as leave an order note during checkout.

What is the expected delivery time to (insert destination here)?

Delivery time depends on the ship to address, package weight, and shipping method selected. Typically, delivery within the US takes a week and it takes approximately 3 weeks for delivery from the US to the UK. We are working to improve this time to about 2 weeks and hope to have that in place soon.

Hello ..... more questions regarding hardcover landscape, please ..... what is the biggest size for a casebound landscape book i can print, any bigger than US letter? The link shows sizes and specs indeed, but there are a few confusing things. For the 11”x8,5” hardcover, the max no of pages is set to 80. On the other hand, here viovio.com/wiki/Understanding+Book+Binding/ it says that the quick binding gives an option to up to 120 pages maximum. Even more, the pro binding option allows up to 160 pages max.

Can I go up to 160 pages for my US letter landscape, hard cover?

In an older thread, somebody mentioned the possibility of having a full image cover for the 11”x8,5” hardcover, instead of the die cut option listed for now in the specs page. Any news regarding it?

mini book pricing

by nadine pearce, Tuesday 13 of November, 2007 [11:35:54 UTC]
I'm a bit confused. Can I have the prices for the mini books confirmed please? Are the 3.75"x2.5" priced at $4.99 base + $1.25 per page, or $4.99 base + $.25 per page?

Re: mini book pricing

by connie, Tuesday 04 of December, 2007 [15:21:24 UTC]
Lets see, first the minimum page count is 20 for the mini books. We need that many pages so that the binding holds nicely.

Here is a link to the minibook page that lists the minimum page count and on that page there is a link to technical specs where you can get costs and page counts, etc. http://www.viovio.com/wiki/Mini+Photo+Books

The pricing is a bit confusing since you get 2, 3, or 4 books depending on the option you select. The costing structure for the mini books is $4.99 base plus .50 per page. Just for an example — for the 3.75x2.5 is $4.99 base (which covers the set up, printing of the covers and binding) plus .50 per page. So to get a 20-page 4-pack of the 3.75x2.5 books it would cost $4.99 + $10 = $14.99. That is total cost for the books. You would get 4 books so each book would cost $3.75.

Hope that makes sense

Why is the 52 page book I just made priced at $30.99? I figured it to be $4.99 + $13.00 (52pg x .25) for a total of $17.99.
Whats up?

It says 2-pack minimum under the pricing. Could that be why?

Is your pricing in Australian currency? I'm sorry if i asked a silly question.

Re: Pricing

Our default pricing is US Dollars. However, you can choose foreign currencies by selecting Austrailian Dollars under the "Currencies" menu on the lower right corner of the /shop page.
