Our Dedication to Quality

Physics. Chemistry. Mathematics. Engineering. What does all this science have to do with album-making and storytelling? Science is essential to ensure your treasured photos and stories will withstand the test of time. Our Technology Centre and team of scientists excel at the development and testing of products. They guarantee our quality and assure that products comply with the ISO 18902 standard for photo-safety. And when the accelerated aging chambers cool and the infrared spectrophotometer is shut down for the day, they all head home and work on their own memory celebration projects. After all, they have a legacy to pass on to their own families, too.

What is ISO 18902?

ISO 18902 is the International Organisation for Standardisation’s basic photo-safety requirements for adhesives, plastics, pens, and album materials. The standard provides a detailed guide for photo-safe product development. It was developed through a consensus of industry, government and other experts from various organisations, including the National Archives, the Image Permanence Institute, Hewlett Packard, Kodak, and Creative Memories.

Upholding quality

ISO 18902 is more than just a part of our packaging. It represents our commitment to providing information, products and customer service to ensure that your memories will be preserved for future generations. We are the only album manufacturer that we know of that complies with ISO 18902 – the industry’s gold standard for photo-safe album-making supplies. So when you see ISO 18902 on one our products, you can be assured you are getting the best possible photo-safe products. Even better, you’ll know that your albums will safely preserve the weddings, the parties, the rain showers, the messes, and the tears that make up life. For more details on ISO 18902 and to learn how it differentiates us from others in the industry, see the Creative Memories Guide to ISO 18902.
