The Best Yearbook Publishers (2025 Guide)
Yearbooks used to be a one-size-fits-all product: thick printed books, pages full of posed portraits, and a hefty price tag to match. But in 2025, that model just doesn’t work for everyone—especially with digital-native students, mobile-first parents, and budget-conscious schools. The yearbook industry is evolving fast.

Are Print Yearbooks going away?
I hope not! I have been involved with creating thousands of print yearbooks in my career as a Yearbook Representative.

Is it time for a Digital Yearbook? And a little history about print yearbooks
The first bound ‘yearbook’ was introduced in 1806 to the seniors of Yale University. I put the word – yearbook – in quotes because it was more of a journal.
