quick question for photography type people...

[Elmo]

Hey, i'm looking for some card frame booklet thingies, but i dunno what their called (clearly), so wondered if someone could give the the right name for them lol

i feel daft, but here's a pic of what i mean:



I've just recieved my grad ball pics and i've to make copies for other people and thought it'd be nice if i could get some of these to put them in.

Cheers for your help!

Cardboard photo mounts?

(just a guess)

[Sair33]

Yeah, Google "photo mounts folders" and there are quite a few companies that sell them, such as here .... although a lot of them (including this one) only sell them in boxes of 50!


edit.... OR even better, you can get them on e-bay

[tiggerai]

could try stationers or craft shops...

[Grey M@a]

Do you have a T & G Allens store in town, if so they sell them So do WHSmith if I remember correctly.

yeah i was looking on ebay and nothing came up! thanks

[Rave]

Jessops do them, they also call them "slip in folders" IIRC. Probably a smidge cheaper than that ebay seller too.

[Elmo]

bah! I dont have a use for 10 of them :/ only need 5 at most!

[Stoo]

get 10 and ebay the other 5?

[Mike Fishcake]

Or just buy the 10 and keep the other 5 to put other photos in, give them to people or whatever?

[Elmo]

that's what i want them for, but i only need 5

I could ebay them, but what are the chances of someone looking for them and buying them?

[Jonny M]

Ask the seller if they could sell you just 5?

No, no, I've a better idea!

Buy 10, and then each of the 5 to be used has a replacement, which can be called upon for use, should its corresponding main cardboard photo mount become lost, damaged or otherwise unusable!

A simple solution to a tricky household problem!

What a fantastic idea!

[Elmo]

Ask the seller if they could sell you just 5?

already done that waiting for imminent reply

Or ask in here if someone else would go halves on a pack of ten?

Even better! OMFG!

Ok, how about this: We get David to set up a sub-company of HEXUS, called something snappy and modern like 'Spladoosh' or whatever, then, via this company we set up a simple donation system, so that any HEXUS forum members wishing to contribute money towards the purchasing from eBay a single pack of 10 cardboard photo mounts, with the understanding that 5 are to be resold (once they have served their backup purposes: see last idea) at a later date.

Then, once the funds are raised, the 5 needed cardboard photo mounts used, and the remaining 5 ready for sale, we dissolve the first company, and set up a second company, again with a really good name, like 'The Really Good Company', and the members of the board of this company (who are the people who contributed money towards the purchase of an eBay item for Spladoosh) can then share any profits from this sale amongst themselves, via a percentage basis.

No!

It has to be shares!

To the stock market!
