Apply your custom branded frames to instax and Polaroid photos in seconds.

Just remove the easy-peel backing, place in your photo and fold the frame to seal.

IMPORTANT: We sell branded frames, not branded film. Our frames are applied to the film after the photo has been taken. Why? Because it’s impossible to print directly onto instant film. The film is light sensitive and the printing process would cause irreversible damage. Trust us, we’ve tried!

We have two options available for you! 

If you want to keep things simple, you can use the Design Tool found on our Polaroid and Instax Frames pages. You can upload PDF, PNG and JPEG files to the Design Tool then add text and even QR codes! 

Or, if you have access to Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, you can use our Downloadable Templates! These are set up and ready to go so all you need to do is create your design, export as a PDF, then upload that PDF to the Design Tool. 

You can find more information on our Design Guide page.

Both produce great photos with the same iconic look and feel you expect from an instant film.

Here are a few key points to consider when making your choice;

Instax

• Film cost: $$
• Square, Wide, Mini film sizes to choose from.
• Wide selection of cameras

Polaroid

• Film Cost $$$$
• Only one size of film (the one we all know and love)
• Limited camera options

Ultimately it comes down to cost. Polaroid film is significantly more expensive, so if you're planning on shooting high volumes and budget is an issue, Instax is probably the way to go.

Yes! Here's what Fujifilm have to say:
If you do not have use for your empty INSTAX film cartridges, contact your municipal recycling department to see if they accept High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) for recycling. If they do, simply put the film cartridges in your recycle bin!
Send it!
If your local municipal recycling department does not accept HIPS, then pack the cartridge in an envelope or box and ship it to Fujifilm for recycling. To help process these recyclable materials, we have partnered with The Burton Center, an organization that gives individuals with disabilities and special needs the chance to help make an impact in their community while learning critical work and life skills.
Please ship empty film cartridges to:
Fujifilm/Burton Center
2605 Highway 72/221 E
Greenwood, SC 29649

For all customers outside of the UK, please contact your local recycling department for the best answer.

Yes! You can! It's not quite as simple as Instax cartridges but here's what Polaroid have to say:

Here are the instructions to recycle your empty Polaroid film pack:

1. Crush the opening of the film pack (where the film comes out) with your thumbs to create a larger opening
2. Remove the spring – carefully! Some of the edges are pretty sharp.
3. Remove the battery – and cover the electrical contacts with tape immediately.
4. Dispose of the plastic cassette, metal spring and lithium-ion battery separately.
5. Note: You can dispose of batteries in most stores that sell them, as well as big box stores, supermarkets, town halls, schools and libraries. Your local government authority will have information available to help find the best place for you.

If you are at all uncertain about this process, please get in touch with the Polaroid Customer Support team directly and they’ll guide you through the dismantling procedure safely.

PDF (Portable Document Format)

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

PNG (Portable Network Graphics)

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)

These are the formats we would recommend:

For photography: high-resolution JPEGs (preferably un-compressed)

For Graphics or Text: print-ready, vector-based PDFs

For a mix of graphics and photography: print-ready PDFs

Design file formats

Graphics and text designs (basically, any non-photographic content) are best submitted as vector-based PDFs. This will ensure your lines and text are nice and crisp. If you upload JPEGs or PNGs, there may be some fuzziness around your text.

You should also make sure that there are no cut or crop lines, all transparencies have been flattened, overprint is switched off and any fonts used are embedded, before saving your designs. For best results, we recommend using the following preset to preflight your designs: Adobe PDFx1a 2001

Photo file formats

You can upload photos in the same format you import them from your digital camera (normally JPEG). We do however accept the following file formats: JPEG, PNG, and PDF.

Please note: we do not accept RAW files.

Find our ready-to-use Downloadable Templates for Illustrator or Photoshop here!

When you've completed your design, simply export as a PDF and upload to the Design Tool on our Polaroid Frames or Instax Frames pages.

Don't forget! The guidelines need to be turned off in Illustrator or Photoshop before exporting as a PDF. Your PDF should only contain your artwork. Guidelines should not be visible!

Pre-designing frames before you upload is something we recommend to design professionals or those very comfortable with graphic design applications.

Some technical knowledge is required to use the templates and to save your work in the best format for print. 

If you need help designing your frames, we recommend asking a friend with design knowledge or hiring a designer on a website like Fiverr or Upwork.

Thicker lines print better. We recommend 0.5pt and above

8pt and higher will ensure the best legibility.

Outline all text based elements prior to exporting.

Fonts using 100% K will be crisper and more legible

For the best print quality set opacities to no less than 40%

To make sure your design prints as expected flatten transparencies and turn off overprint

All imagery should be above 300dpi

These are applied by us as we send your files to print

No Spot Colours. We use Coated GRACol-2006 if you're into ICC Profiles

Save to PDFx1a 2001 and ensure the greatest print accuracy
