Album
How do I attach my photos?
You can attach your photos with archival photo stickers.
What pages are in your albums?
Our albums have black pages. An interleaving sheet between each page in the album protects the images.
How many pages can I put in an album?
Large albums have 25 pages and medium and small albums have 20 pages. We recommend only adding another 10 pages to an album so it does not become too bulky and the covers sit flat.
Are the album pages acid-free?
Yes – our album pages are acid-free.
Portfolio
How many pages can I put into a portfolio?
Our clear plastic sleeves are sold in sets of 10. The screws included in the portfolio are 10 mm and will take 10 sleeves. The number of pages you can put in a portfolio depends on the thickness of the paper and we have longer interscrews available to purchase.
Are all A3 and A4 sleeves the same size?
No. If you purchase sleeves from elsewhere you need to check the measurements to make sure they fit our portfolios. There can be variation in sizes of plastic sleeves.
How do I know where to punch the holes in my pages?
You can use a standard 2-hole or 4-hole punch to put holes in your pages. The other option is to purchase a pack of self-adhesive filing strips to bind the pages into the portfolio.
Can I use tick card for pages in my portfolio?
Thick cards can make turning the pages in the portfolio difficult. You will need to buy the self-adhesive filing strips to bind your work into the portfolio.
Do you have interscrews for the portfolios in other sizes?
Silver and brass interscrews are available in 6 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm and are sold individually.
