Could anyone advise where I may find large traditional photo albums to buy? Nothing fancy or expensive - approx 30-35cm length x 30cm width. I am looking for the ones where you use double sided stickers or corner stickers to attach (not slip in pockets, or plastic sheets)

Many Thanks!

Prints in Prince's Building and United Center has a nice selection in a variety of prints and they have this awesome applicator for the pictures. I have 8 of their albums and always get compliments.

got an old fashioned album but I am a clutz and cant stick the pictures in very well. Someone metioned an applicator for the pics - how does this work?

prints has the applicator.


do you know those "white out" type applicators where you paint a white strip and it automatically comes out of the gadget? It's sort of like that, but instead a series of sticky bumps comes out the back. if you make a mistake they are easily rubbed off of both pictures and the paper with no residue left over. Very great. I also used to hate the work of picture corners so I switched.

How much those applicator cost? I shopped at one print/photo album store in Admiralty. It cost HK$80 and can only use for 50 photos??

If you go to any large stationary store they will have these contraptions. They are usually called a glue gun/applicator and they will be about HKD 10. There is one in admiralty centre, near the fruit man if that helps. I have seen then in justco's and shops like that as well.

this is not a glue gun. (which may have acid and damage both pictures and paper.) This is archival quality applicator - which means it won't damage either photos or the paper in the long term. the one I have is by Herma and it is about $80 and you can buy refills for it. It goes longer than 50 pictures, depending on how much you use. (I use a small strip in each of four corners rather than a large big one.)


this is a picture of one that they sell in the US which is comparable to the one I bought in HK.
