Picaboo Yearbooks is a strong fit for any size schools because it has no production deadlines, no minimum order, non-binding price agreements, and books printed and delivered in 15 business days. Schools design in Creator Studio, Picaboo's free online yearbook software, and get a dedicated yearbook specialist from planning through delivery.

Yes. Picaboo Yearbooks is a modern alternative to traditional yearbook publishers. There are no contracts that lock you in, no production deadlines during the year (just submit 3 weeks before your delivery date), and the profit you build into your yearbook price stays with your school.

Picaboo Yearbooks guarantees delivery within 15 business days of order submission, under 3 weeks from start to finish.

Not with Picaboo Yearbooks. Picaboo offers non-binding price agreements, so your school is never locked in until the moment you order your yearbooks.

No. Picaboo Yearbooks has no minimum order requirement. Schools can order as few or as many books as needed, and can reorder anytime after the initial print run if demand increases later in the year.

Every school works with a dedicated account manager who provides guidance throughout the entire yearbook process, from setup and design questions to marketing, selling, cover design, proofing, printing and final delivery. Advisers can also get one-on-one video walkthroughs of Creator Studio. Call 855-537-0050 to speak with a yearbook specialist.

Final cost depends on size, page count, cover type and finish, so a sales professional will build a free, customized proposal for your school, including discounted pricing for larger orders.

Start collecting photos on the first day of school and plan your pages early, then design as the year goes on. To find your submit date, count back 3 weeks (15 business days) from the day you want yearbooks in hand. Your Picaboo yearbook specialist will help you build a timeline that fits your school's calendar.

A yearbook team can be as small as one teacher or parent volunteer, or a whole class of students. In Creator Studio, the adviser invites each team member and assigns them pages, and the ladder view shows everyone's progress, so it's easy to share the work and see what's left to do.
