Recognizing Various Photo Album Types

The greatest approach to preserve and display your priceless images and memories is through picture albums. It can be difficult to see how many different kinds and types they provide. We've put together this useful online guide on understanding various photo album types to help make things easier.

It's crucial to select the ideal picture album for you, which is why we've put this information together to assist you in determining which album would best enable you to cherish and preserve your images and memories.



What Kinds of Photo Albums Are There?

There are many different designs and formats available for photo albums that mount and attach images. There exist four primary categories of photo albums: Slip-in (also called photo pocket albums), Drymount (also called pergamyn albums, loose-leaf page albums, or photo mountable albums), Self-adhesive (a conventional method), and lastly, Bragbooks, which are smaller, pocket-sized photo albums.

Below, we'll go over each distinct style:


1. Insert-in Picture Albums

Slip-in photo albums, also known as photo pocket albums, have pages with photo inserts that fit into pre-sized polypropylene pockets so you can slide in your pictures. The most practical and straightforward method to organize your images is using these photo albums. A memo section adjacent to every photo in certain slip-in photo albums allows you to write notes on memo lines.


2. Photo Albums on Drymount

Rice paper albums, traditional picture albums, and pergamyn albums are other names for drymount photo albums. All of Profile's dry mount picture books have premium, acid-free papers with glassine sandwiched in between each sheet. This guarantees that when the picture album pages are closed, your photos won't adhere between them.


3. Adhesive photo albums for photos

Easy mount or magnetic page albums are other names for self-adhesive photo albums. Self-mount sticky pages in self-adhesive photo books are shielded from the elements by a clear film that can be peeled off with ease. This allows you to mount your tickets, pictures, and other mementos in any format you like.

These also permit different photo sizes or vertical and horizontal images on the same page. When the transparent film is back on the sheet, your pictures are ready to be viewed. Moreover, the clear coating offers defense against fingerprints, dust, and scratches.
