Albums

1. What are the different page types?

There are three main types of photo album: slip-in, traditional card and self-adhesive

Slip-in These album pages have clear pockets that you slide your pictures into. The pocket is a set size for example 6x4". The photo is held in place by being in the pocket, so no additional means of securing the photo is required.

Traditional Card Pages are made of card, usually either in black or white. Pictures need to be held in place with photo corners or photo mounts, both are self-adhesive. Photo corners hold the photo in place at each corner and Photo mounts are placed on the back of the photo and act like double-sided tape. You can also use photo tape to stick the photo down in the album.

Self-adhesive Also known as peel back pages. These pages have a clear peel-back film, position your pictures on the self-adhesive page and then simply smooth the cover back over the page to hold them in place

2. What are Refill Albums

These albums come with a set number of pages and are designed to have additional pages added to them.

3. What are Photo Corners and Photo Mounts?

These are small self-adhesive tabs used to stick your pictures into traditional card paged albums

Photo Corners hold the photo in place at each corner

Photo Mounts are small squares placed on the back of the photo
