Hello, I was wondering what kind of albums do you use for your collection? For example, you have the davo luxury albums, but many collectors find them expensive, and davo decides what and how you collect. You can stick your self-adhesive strips in, so you determine your own layout of your albums. Or stock books, where you can clamp the stamps behind the strips. I am very curious what you use, and why you have chosen this. Child started with the luxury albums of davo for my Dutch stamps, I thought that was very beautiful at the time. I do my motif collection in albums in which I make strips myself. I am curious about your albums

I use Davo, stock sheets 10 strips black for a 23 ring folder, nice and easy to arrange as I want, and if I have new stamps from a pebale country, for example, I don't have to take out the entire stock book again and re-arrange everything. just a new leaf in between :), Davo albums and other pre-printed poetry pictures are not only expensive, but also lack fantasy and creativity.

Making it yourself like you do is often indeed more beautiful, but it is actually only possible when (that part) is complete, adding smurfs afterwards often makes it ugly in my experience.

That's right, I will only make a sheet when I have that sheet complete, until then I keep it in a stock book

I have my entire collection of world on squared paper of each country a separate folder I think I have 300 country folders of which some countries 3 folders

everything neatly by number from the catalog so you can see exactly which ones you miss it is an awful lot of work but then you also have a very nice collection

Maybe a very silly question, but what do you mean by squared paper, should I just think of squared paper from the stationery store? And then stick strips on it?

Thanks for your pictures. That's idd. Also an idea to do it I sometimes wonder how others manage to get the strips right on a blank page :) is a lot of fiddling

I have one more question about using clamp strips.

It always takes me a long time to cut the strips to the correct size of the seal and then around everything neatly right on a sheet.

Now someone came to my house with the following question:

Why don't you do a whole strip across the width of the sheet and clamp several stamps behind that strip, that saves time, and it is easier to paste straight.

Are there people who do this in this way? and is that really useful?

I will be working on a new album soon, and could change methods, but I want to know if this is indeed a good idea. thanks in advance for responding.

it's possible but I don't do that because I want series by series and so I can see everything in order and number what I'm still missing and I almost write the full series every time by the year and what kind of stamps they are

I don't find full clamping strips useful and I have a special cutting device for it

There is also a program where you can make A4 size sheets with boxes on them.

This way you can make all possible layouts. There are also 16 sample pages.

I also have the program but I have to search because I don't know the name for now.

The sheets program is for sale at the HCC, it is called Albumtek, but you can also create it yourself with the word processor Word. You are then no longer bound by the paper size. But rather the paper size that the printer can handle.

Thanks for the name.

I do it myself with Word too. First fill in squares of 5m / m whole page and put the stamps on them that I want there and then wipe away the lines that I don't want.

At the moment I have available for collectors from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Great Britain, Malta, Israel, South Africa + home countries, Hong Kong, DDR and USA the complete outlay of album pages in COLOR on A4 format. Updated through 2012. They can be inserted (= loose-leaf) in a standard binder. If anyone is interested, I will gladly send you some sample copies on request.
