Hi, Does anyone have a supplier for photo-mounts (like the one's you get school photo's sent home in - with a rectangular/oval cut-out and a front flap)

Iv'e looked in the obvious place (ebay) but they seem to want silly money for them (ten 9 x 6 were going for a pound each by the time you had factored in the postage)

There must be somewhere that sells say 50 or 100 at a good price (for good read "cheap")

Thanks

TJ

There is another company that I've used but I can't remember the name. I have a catalogue at home and will try to dig it out to find the name.

I always used these people

E. Wallbank,
Unit 4, Middleton Central Industrial Estate,
Oldham Road,
Middleton,
Greater Manchester,
M24 1AZ.

Tel: 0161 654 8533
Fax: 0161 654 8583

I can't seem to find a website for them, but they are still quoted as suppliers on the Spicer Hallfield home page. At the time they were the cheapest I could find, and very helpful too. If you want 8" X 6" slip in mounts I still have over 100 assorted Oval, upright & rectangular mounts all in brown, which have been sitting around unused for a while which I'm sure I could do you a good deal on if you are interested.

Not sure how prices compare but i have local shop to me called Hobbycraft which does all sorts. I'm sure they're a national chain so maybe have a branch somewhere near you.


My Canon can.. I just need to find out how :rolleyes:

Sorry guys for not replying earlier, only just got back from a hectic day.

Snoozle, are the ones you have the "book" type that fold and open to reveal the photo? What sort of quantities of each do you have. Not sure I need that many, maybe you could PM me with a price?

Madferrit: I have a Hobbeycraft store nearby, didn't see them there last time I looked. I'll go back and have another browse.

Thanks to all for you help.

TJ
