PRODUCT INFORMATION - C.R. GIBSON

Are C. R. Gibson products archival, lignin-free, photo safe?
All of C.R. Gibson's scrapbooks and scrapbook refill pages are acid-free and lignin-free. Our photo albums are also acid-free, PVC-free, photo safe and archival grade.

How many refills will fit in my album?
We suggest 3 - 4 refill packages will fit inside of a book comfortably.

What refills fit my photo album, scrapbook, address book, or recipe album?
Please see our Refill Sizing Chart.

What are the K45 magnetic pages?
The magnetic page refill is a popular alternative to scrapbooking. It has an adhesive material on the surface to hold pictures or documents in place and a plastic overlay sheet for protection. K45 magnetic pages are acid-free and PVC-free.

How do I put together or take apart my post-bound album?
On the inside cover of the album is a 1” flap. Pull that back to see the 2/3 posts that are holding your book together. Unscrew them by hand or using a quarter, if necessary. Carefully pull the book cover away from the pages to keep them from falling out. You can add pages from the front or back of the album. Use the extension posts to add length to your posts. The spine is expendable by several inches to allow additional pages to be inserted into your post-bound album.

How can I clean my photo album?
If it is made out of fabric, those albums cannot be cleaned; however, you can dust them. Leather-bound albums can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

I have seen this product in a store. Why is it not on the website?
C.R. Gibson makes custom product lines for certain stores. If you have questions, feel free to contact us here and we will help guide you in the right direction to look.

For C. R. Gibson products, volume discounts on products are listed on product detail pages. If you would like to purchase more than those amounts we would be happy to discuss possible additional discounts with you. Please contact us here.
