Finding Pages For Stamps

Hello,

I have been storing my stamps on three-ring thick paper pages with a grid pattern on them. I purchased these pages a few years ago on ebay. Now I have used up the ones that I have and want to buy more, but I can't find them anywhere. Part of the problem is I don't know what their official name is. I've seen quadrille pages online but nothing seems quite right. Many would be fine except they only have two holes, or no holes at all. I feel like I paid about $25 for either 50 or 100 of them last time. Can anyone help me find these or at least tell me what the proper name is so I can search? Thanks.

Hi hiddendragon

First off

I assume you are in the US.

I am a big proponent of the local "mom and pop" print shop. Not one of the chain print shops.

Take one of your original pages to a print shop and see what the printer can do for you. These people are very knowledgeable and will work with you. Also you may be surprised that the price might be a lot cheaper for a lot more pages.

I use only blank quadrille pages and did this a couple of years ago. I got exactly what I wanted and for 500 pages, the minimum, it was a reasonable cost.

@hiddendragon, is it possible for you to post an image of the page. It would help in understanding better.

Regards.

Hiddendragon,

Have you considered using Vario pages? They provide for a simple, quick, and easy to use method for mounting your stamps. Google it and see!

I make my own pages using 110 lb paper, that way I can customize them for my needs. Photoshop is my friend in this case.

I recommend Vario as well, quite versatile.

Why not just buy quadrille pages and punch the holes yourself? This is a UK firm, but I'm sure there are US equivalents:

Hiddendragon,

Another alternative is to try EZStamp's AlbumGen. There's been some recent chatter about EZStamp on this site. Or you can Google "EZStamp".

I do the same thing "SDTOM" does using PHOTOSHOP.

Thanks for the welcome. The pages I'm using look like the ones that Geoffha posted except mine have the three hole punch. I suppose I could make my own holes but I hadn't been able to find pages like that. I would say making my own would be a last resort, and I don't really want to switch up what I've been doing. I already have three large binders with my current system and I don't want to change horses midstream. I'll look at these suggestions. I wouldn't have thought it would be so hard to find what I'm looking for since I found it before.

Binders with three rings are, I think, a North American speciality - in Britain, it's all two or four rings. Presumably you can pick up a three-hole punch if you can find the leaves. The ones I posted are wider than A4 - designed to fit springback binders.

I did a Google search and was able to find some that look like they will work. I'll have to punch my own holes but they look like the right size otherwise. Thanks for the input.
