Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photo album technology, specifically relating to a photo album structure with a laser silver card cover. Background Technology
[0002] Photo albums hold significant collectible value. Based on the passage of time and changes in collection methods, they are mainly divided into traditional photo albums and modern photo albums. Traditional photo albums, also known as photo collections or picture albums, are used to store photographs, primarily for preservation and protection. They are typically made of cardboard and PVC inserts, and their covers often feature exquisite designs such as landscapes or celebrity portraits. Modern photo albums offer more diverse formats and richer content, with inner pages made from high-quality photo prints and meticulously designed layouts.
[0003] Currently, most photo albums on the market, based on their covers and internal structures, fall into two categories: First, simple albums made primarily of ordinary cardboard or plastic, which are inexpensive but have soft, lack-feel quality, and are easily damaged. The inner pages have weak support, making them prone to bending, curling, or even tearing after repeated handling, offering poor protection for the photos. Second, hardcover albums with rigid covers, using sturdy materials like grey board for the front and back covers, improving durability. However, the cover surface often uses ordinary laminated paper or imitation leather, resulting in a monotonous visual effect, lacking novelty and a sense of luxury, making it difficult to attract consumers' attention amidst a dazzling array of products. The inner page structure remains single-layered or simply mounted.
[0004] There is an urgent need for a new type of photo album product that is both aesthetically pleasing and high-end, as well as robust and durable, and offers a superior browsing experience in terms of appearance, internal structural strength, and overall durability. Therefore, a photo album structure with a laser-etched silver card cover is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0016] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.
[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a photo album structure with a laser silver card cover, as shown in one embodiment.
[0018] In the above diagram, 1. Spine, 2. Cover, 3. Pages, 4. Back cover, 5. Cover, 6. Inner lining paper. Detailed Implementation
[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0021] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, a photo album structure with a laser-etched silver card cover includes a spine 1. Inside the spine 1, a cover 2, album pages 3, and a back cover 4 are arranged sequentially. An inner lining paper 6 is placed inside the cover 2 and the inner side of the cover 2, and the inner lining paper 6 is connected to the spine. The cover 2 and back cover 4 are rigid boards wrapped in soft material. The cover 2 and back cover 4 form the album's "skeleton," providing structural support. The internal rigid board ensures that the cover 2 and back cover 4 remain flat and are not easily bent or deformed, effectively protecting the inner pages. The outer soft material provides a soft, skin-friendly feel.
[0022] The album page 3 has a three-layer composite laminated structure, including two layers of photo paper and cardboard laminated between the two layers of photo paper. Album page 3 directly carries the photographs, and the middle cardboard layer provides strong resistance to bending, making album page 3 thick and sturdy, so that even if the album is thick, individual pages will not sag or curl. The three-layer structure of photo paper, cardboard, and photo paper is laminated together using a cold lamination process, resulting in a structural strength higher than single-layer or double-laminated pages, making it less prone to tearing and able to withstand repeated handling. The two layers of photo paper are bonded to the middle cardboard using an environmentally friendly cold glue lamination process, and then flattened and shaped by a laminator, ensuring no air bubbles, a flat and firm surface. The sturdy inner pages provide stable support for the photographs, reducing potential damage to the photograph surface caused by page bending.
[0023] The spine 1, front cover 2, and back cover 4 are covered by a cover 5, which is made of silver cardstock with a laser-coated surface. The edges of cover 5 are folded inward and wrapped around the inner edges of front cover 2 and back cover 4. This inward folding and wrapping of the cover 5's edges, a process known as "edge binding" or "curved edge," makes the bond between cover 5 and front cover 2 and back cover 4 more secure and aesthetically pleasing, eliminating rough edges and enhancing overall durability and sophistication. The edge binding width of cover 5 is 10-15mm, and it adheres to the inner edges of front cover 2 and back cover 4 after being folded inward.
[0024] Cover 5 is the outermost layer of the album, serving both decorative and basic protective functions. The silver cardstock base provides a highly reflective, metallic finish. The BOPP holographic film laminated to the surface of Cover 5 creates a vibrant, dynamic effect that changes with light, enhancing the product's visual impact and premium feel. The BOPP holographic film also boasts excellent abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and some moisture resistance, effectively protecting the cover's design from wear and fading, thus extending the album's lifespan.
[0025] A base color printing layer is provided between the surface of the cover 5 and the laser film. By first printing the base color on a partial or global area of the silver cardstock and then covering it with the laser film, a deep and three-dimensional laser effect can be achieved. The dark base color can highlight the laser luster while concealing the base color of the silver cardstock itself, making the design more controllable and sophisticated.
[0026] The inner lining paper 6 has a double-layer structure, with an outer layer of coated paper printed with patterns and an inner layer of corrugated paper. The inner lining paper 6 is pasted on the inside of the cover 2 and back cover 4, serving both decorative and cushioning functions. The outer coated paper can be printed with exquisite patterns or text, covering the internal structure and enhancing the aesthetics of the album when opened. The inner corrugated paper is lightweight and elastic, providing a soft cushioning layer between the hardboards of the cover 2 and back cover 4 and the pages 3, resulting in a tighter closure and a better feel.
[0027] The hardboard of the cover 2 and back cover 4 is gray board paper, and the soft material covering it is felt cloth. The outer surface of the gray board paper is bonded and fixed to the felt cloth, which is the soft fabric, with an environmentally friendly adhesive. In the covering process, the four corners of the felt cloth are beveled and folded inward to cover it, so that the corners fit tightly, are flat and without excess wrinkles, forming the cover 2 and back cover 4 components with clean lines and a high-end appearance.
[0028] The spine 1 is movable, comprising an inner spine fixed to one end of the page 3 and an outer spine integrally formed with the cover 2 and back cover 4. The spine 1 connects the page 3 to the cover 2 and back cover 4. By dividing the spine 1 into an inner spine and an outer spine, and using an elastic and stretchable material, preferably elastic gauze or sponge adhesive, as the adhesive for the inner spine, the inner spine can stretch and flatten when the album is opened. The elastic connection better disperses the stress generated during page turning, preventing the page 3 from falling off from the base and extending the album's lifespan. In addition to elastic gauze and high-elasticity sponge adhesive, the inner spine can also be made of non-woven fabric with longitudinal stretchability.
[0029] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt mature and conventional methods in the prior art. The parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
