The simplest product we sell, and the one most often imagined as something slightly different from what it is.
What arrives
Loose printed cards. As many as you ordered, in the size you chose, on 300 GSM matte card with the retro border printed as part of the image.
That is the product. There is no album, no frame, no box beyond the packaging that protects them in transit, and no fixings.
| Included | Not included |
|---|---|
| The prints, loose | A frame or album |
| The border, printed | String, clips or tape |
| Captions, if you asked for them | Adhesive of any kind |
| Lamination, if you paid for it | A display of any kind |
The three assumptions worth correcting
1. There is no string or clip set. The photographs of prints on fairy lights are showing you a use, not a kit. Twine and small wooden clips cost very little at any stationery shop and you will want to choose the length yourself anyway. Polaroid wall layouts →
2. Nothing is adhesive. No sticker backing, no repositionable film. That is deliberate — adhesive backing pulls paint off hostel and rented walls, which is where most of these end up. Polaroids for a hostel room →
3. They are not instant film. Nothing develops, nothing needs shaking, and there is no cartridge. They are prints in that shape. Instant film against printed polaroids →
What you decide at order
| Size | 3x3, 3x2 or 2x3 inch |
| Quantity | 30 minimum, or a custom count above 100 |
| Lamination | ₹3 a print, glossy |
| Captions | Under the image, or leave it blank |
₹9 a print, so thirty is ₹270, flat ₹70 delivery anywhere in India.
What we do to the photographs
Very little, and that is the point. They are cropped to the size you chose, the border is applied, you see a digital preview of the set, and they print. There is no retouching, no colour correction and no layout.
⚠️ Which means a bad file prints badly. The preview shows the crops and the border, but a phone screen will not show how soft a compressed photograph looks on card. A print pack is cheaper than a designed product precisely because there is so little design in it. Choosing photos for polaroid prints →
Frequently asked
What comes in a polaroid print pack? Loose printed cards, in the size and quantity you ordered, with the border printed as part of the image. Nothing else.
Do they come with string and clips? No. Twine and clips are cheap at any stationery shop, and you will want to pick the length yourself.
Are they sticky on the back? No, deliberately. Adhesive backing takes paint off rented and hostel walls.
Is there a frame or an album? No. If you want the photographs bound, that is a magazine or an album rather than a print pack.
Do you check the photos before printing? You see a digital preview of the set before it prints. Nothing is retouched, so the files you send are what the prints are made from — which is why they matter.
