Why do retro photo prints have a white border?

The white border is what makes retro photo prints feel retro, so at klikkie it is a feature, not a limitation.

Think of the photos in your parents' old albums. Or the instant photos from a party, with room at the bottom for a date or a name. That frame of white is part of the charm. It tells you straight away that this is a real print, not a screen.

A white border also does a few practical things.

• It gives your photo room to breathe. Busy shots look calmer with a little white around them.
• It keeps fingers off the picture. You hold the border, not the faces.
• It gives you space to write. Add a date, a place or a little note with a pen.
• It makes a set look like a set. Pin ten white border prints on a wall and they look tidy together, even when the photos are very different.

Every klikkie print has that recognisable white border. The prints are made on premium paper with a matte or lustre finish, so you get calm, soft prints instead of shiny ones. Together that gives you a look that feels a bit vintage and very you.

What are square photo prints 10x10 good for?

Square photo prints of 10x10 cm are perfect for everyday moments, because almost any phone photo looks good in a square.

The Square is klikkie's compact, Instagram-style print. It is small enough to stick on the fridge, slip into a card or tuck into a frame on your desk. It is also easy to collect. A stack of squares looks great in a box, on a pinboard or in a scrapbook.

A few tips for great squares.

• Keep the subject in the middle. A square crops the sides of your photo, so centred faces work best.
• Get close. Details like a tiny hand, a cup of coffee or your cat's face look lovely in a square.
• Make a grid. Nine squares on a wall in three rows of three look like a little gallery.

How do photo booth strips work at klikkie?

A klikkie Strip puts three of your photos in one narrow print, just like a strip from an old photo booth.

The Strip is the most playful klikkie format. It is fun for casual snapshots, silly faces and kids' photos. Choose three photos that belong together and you get a little story on one strip of paper.

Some ideas for your photo booth strips.

• A sequence. Three shots taken right after each other, from a serious face to a big laugh.
• Before, during and after. A birthday cake, the candles, the empty plate.
• Three people, one day. Put the grandparents, the kids and the dog on one strip.

Strips make great bookmarks and fit easily in a wallet or a card. They also look sweet tucked into the corner of a mirror.

Which klikkie print set should you choose?

klikkie has four print sets, so you can pick the mix of formats that suits the way you like to keep your photos.

• Originals Set
• No Biggie Set
• Medium & Squares Set, with squares in the mix
• Squares Only Set, for fans of the square

How do you store and display white border prints?

The easiest way to keep white border prints together is a klikkie Memory Box, which holds about 120 to 150 prints.

That is roughly a year of the photo subscription. The box fits all klikkie formats side by side, so your XL prints, squares and strips stay together. Prefer something more creative? The Starter Set comes with a scrapbook album with black pages, a white pen and photo corners. The white borders look extra crisp against the black. Find more ideas in our guide on how to store printed photos.

Want your photos bound together instead of loose? A small book is a lovely next step. Have a look at the Pocket photo book for a compact way to keep a whole story in one place.
