If you can’t get the pictures out of the albums, please give us a call.  In most cases, we can scan the entire album page and electronically pull the pictures off the page, but this service is more expensive. Slides in sheet protectors are acceptable as well!

Secure these stacks with rubber bands, baggies, envelopes, cling wrap or aluminum foil in such a manner that they are held tightly together.  Slides are particularly problematic, as it’s their nature to escape and travel about inside boxes.  If you have a stack of slides held together with rubber bands that would come apart if you dropped it on the floor, it’s probably going to come apart inside the box during shipping.  Limiting stacks of slide to 4 inches high and using two rubber bands to secure them works well.  Slides are susceptible to damage if they are loose inside a box.

Please do not ship in envelopes. Even padded envelopes do not adequately protect your photos from becoming damaged, as they can get bent. The best thing for you to ship your pictures and/or slides in is a cardboard box. Fill any space left over in the box with padding so that the photos can’t bounce around inside the box.

Most photos are not damaged by rubbing against each other during transit.  However, some very old paper photos  can be damaged in this manner, so use your best judgment.  For these very old photos, a piece of padding between each photo ensures safe shipping.
