Tuesday 21. September 2010 - Launching innovative photo book cover making solutions and "talking" photo books
Unibind, specialist in binding systems for photo prints and personalization solutions for photo books, is to showcase at Photokina 2010 a raft of innovative new products for the fast developing photo book market. Taking centre stage is the unique Photos & Sounds, a photo book that combines images with music and voice recordings, and is set to transform the photo book market. Other products on show that will help businesses create new commercial opportunities include the HardCoverMaker 650M, an easy-to-use and cost-efficient solution for producing personalized photo book covers in-store. Also present at Photokina is the Foil Xpress digital printer, which enables quick and simple one colour foil printing onto photo books.
Photokina takes place September 21-26 in Cologne. Unibind can be found in Hall 4.1, at booth F040-G049.
Photos & Sounds – photo books that say more than a thousand words
The new and unique Photos & Sounds is the first photo book to incorporate sound into the cover and is set to take the photo market by storm. Users can record a personalized voice message such as a birthday greeting, or use pre-recorded music or popular songs, such as Christmas carols and Happy Birthday tunes. It will surely attract the attention on the shelves and therefore is an interesting new business opportunity for retailers.
This high-quality product combines Unibinds innovative Staple SteelBinding technology with the award-winning talking technology from US company, Dinotalk. The Photos & Sounds PhotoBook integrates this talking technology into the front cover, enabling users to record a personal message matching the securely bound photo prints.
Esmeralda Peleman, CEO at Unibinds headquarters in Belgium, says: “Photos & Sounds responds to the growing trend for personalization and lends photo books that extra touch of personality. We anticipate much interest in this technology as the possibilities are limitless and the technology is easily understood by end users.
Photokina is a perfect backdrop to showcase our innovative new products. We are looking forward to meeting existing and new customers, and helping them find new ways to set themselves apart in a highly competitive market.
