One of the biggest fears families have before booking photo album scanning in Mumbai is: “Will someone pull the photographs out of my parents’ album?” The answer is a firm no whenever an album is bound, glued or fragile.
The 4 Classic Album Types Found in Indian Homes
- Self-Adhesive (“Magnetic”) Sticky Albums (1975–1998): Cardboard sheets with sticky glue strips and peel-back plastic film. Never peel stuck prints—we scan flat through or safely lift non-bonded film and crop each image digitally.
- Black-Paper Corner-Mount Albums (1940s–1970s): Brittle black craft paper becomes delicate like dry leaves. Pages are supported gently on flatbeds without unseating paper corners.
- Slip-In Pocket Albums (1990s–2000s): Where photos slide smoothly out of PVC pockets without resistance, removing them briefly avoids plastic glare before sliding each print right back into its exact pocket.
- Flush-Mount / Karizma Wedding Albums: Thick rigid spreads are captured flat in sequence, preserving panoramic layouts too.
