How does the front side of the prints look like?
Our Vintage Prints are inspired by the good old Instant Film. That's why we print a light structure on the frame. It is - just like the analog original - not pure white.
Which information can be printed on the back?
We currently offer 3 back options. The option "Vintage Instant Film" offers no information. This variant reflects the style of the original instant photos.
With the option "Memory Back" we can print the following options among others depending on the image source: map (place of picture), date, camera, camera settings, number of likes, number of comments, tagged persons, description, used filter
The information must be present in the image file itself or come as meta information from the image source (e.g. Facebook or Instagram)
Further we offer a complete customized back of your prints (+ 20ct/print).
Simply upload a reverse image or type your text into our editor.
Our personalized back sides are perfect for invitations, acknowledgement cards, save-the-dates, baby announcements or with your own logo for a professional touch. [more]
How can I have a map printed on the back of my pictures?
We can only print maps when the photo contains geo information. This can either come from Instagram, Facebook, etc. or directly from the image file (when uploading). Here a few helpful links on the topic geo tagging:

Can I define a custom order of the photos on the Stripes?
Currently a subsequent ordering of the photos is not possible. Simply select the photos in your wished order. We're working on an update and keep you updated (check our Facebook and Newsletter).
What print quality do you offer?
To offer a vintage Instant Film experience we use digital printing onto our strong "Vintage Paper". Our prints are robust, glossy and the frame resembles the structure of a Instant Film photo.
The color profile might be a little different to viewing on your monitor or smartphone, due to the conversion from RGB to CMYK.
Do you edit the photos?
No. We print the pictures as we get them. The vintage look results from the form and feel of the prints. If you like you can apply one of our unique vintage filters and your prints even more special. Please make sure to rotate your photos upright before ordering!
What resolution should my photos have? What does "low image resolution" mean?
For best quality you photos should have at least 882 pixels per side. Smaller resolutions can result in blurry prints or artefacts.
Individual back? Business customer?
You are looking for an individual solution? We offer a special service for photographers and business customers with a customizable photo back! Simply design your individual back side with our editor (+ 20ct/print). [more]
