Group your photos

We recommend that you organize and package your photos in groups that make sense to you (i.e. by theme, or chronologically). Make sure to label each group with a descriptive name (i.e. "Summer 1987"). We will maintain your grouping and use the names you provided during the scanning process.

Note: We will scan your photos in the same order we receive them.

Photo Prints

Carefully group your photo prints in separate envelopes and pack them using protective cushion material (such as bubble wrap) to prevent bending.

Note: We are able to scan your photos from an album, but there will be an additional charge. If you are able to take the photos out of the album, you will save some money.

 

Negatives

Group your 35mm negatives in separate envelopes, protective sleeves, or archival sheets and pack them using protective cushion material (such as carton) to prevent bending.

 

Slides

We recommend you group your slides in the original carton or plastic boxes you received them when you first developed them. If you no longer have these, organize your loose slides in groups no bigger than 50 slides (you may place them in separate envelopes, or stack them together with a rubber band, wrapped in plastic). Pack your slides using protective cushion material (such as bubble wrap) to prevent bending or other damages. We do not mind if you prefer to send your slides in the storage containers you are currently using; eg. Carousels, trays or magazines.
