Peleman Industries, manufacturer of Unibind high-quality binding,
lamination and presentation products, announced today that it has
partnered with Eastman Kodak Company to offer professional quality,
lay-flat photobooks and calendars to customers nationwide.
Through the Kodak/Unibind agreement, retailers are offering
Kodak-approved, lay-flat photobooks and calendars in-store from their
digital photographic prints using the latest Kodak Picture Kiosks, Kodak
software, and Unibind binding technology. The photo albums are composed
of materials screened for use with photographic media and are offered as
both hard and soft covers, with hardcovers finished in black linen. The
service went live at kiosks around the United States in December 2007.
“We are proud of our relationship with Kodak,” said Rusty Redecker, Vice
President of Photo for Unibind North America. “These books are a
combination of Unibind’s binding technologies and Kodak’s commitment to
image preservation. The books can be made in retail using any type of
photographic print. Books lay flat, are easy to assemble, and are
high-quality in appearance.”
The collaboration between Unibind and Kodak is an example of how
photo-industry firms are responding to the digital-imaging revolution
and its impact on the retail photo industry. Technologies, such as
Kodak’s kiosk software and Unibind’s binding capabilities drive print
traffic in stores, increasing margins and offering more options for the
consumer. For more information, see http://www.unibind.com.
