Shoebox Scanning

We'll scan your prints!

Do you have a mountain of prints you’ve been meaning to archive? Try our shoebox scanning service! We’ll scan your prints in order of size from wallet size to 8x10 and burn them to archival DVD. Once the scans are on DVDs or USB, they can easily be shared with friends and family. Please note that we use only top quality archival DVDs to preserve your memories. Many customers choose to have their images saved to USB flash drives in addition to DVDs which can be purchased for a nominal fee. Share your new digital files with friends and family or print extra copies to share with loved ones. Digital files will be 300dpi at original size. 

Please sort your prints facing up and by grouping same sizes together. Prints must be removed from albums, unmounted, flat, free from dust, tears, staples. Tape or other defects that may interfere with the scanning process. Use your photo scans to create slide shows, photo books, collage prints, photo mugs, photo calendars, and more. 

What a great way to share and enjoy your family history.

Photo Scanning FAQs

  • What can I do with my scans?

    Have fun! Share them with family. Make a history book, a DVD slide show, prints, Photo mugs, calendars, photo collages and more. It’s a great way to teach children about their links with the past.

  • Are the photo scans as good as flat bed scans?

    Honestly? No. A high end flat bed scan will provide more detail and accuracy. Having said that, the photo scans are quite good and the colour correction applied will often produce images better than your originals. We can flat bed scan photographs if you want but at a much higher cost. The rapid quality  scans will be just fine for most purposes including printing.

  • Do you send the photos out of country?

    No. All work is done at New West Photo Lab.

  • Will my photos be damaged?

    No. The scanners we use are quite gentle. Your photos will not be harmed.

  • Why does it cost more for rotation and/or scanning in order?

    Rotation and keeping prints in order simply takes us longer to do the job. We give the option of doing it yourself as it offers the lowest possible cost.

  • What is quality of shoebox photo scans?

    Photo scan files are produced and saved as  jpg file at 300 dpi/8 bit colour and include a basic colour and density  correction and dust clean-up. We can also scan at higher dpi upon request, and will provide a price quote for those custom services.
