FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Common questions

From the order and payment to the moment you hold the pictures in your hands, it takes about 5-8 working days (= 7-10 days), because we work together with a specialist laboratory.
Before Christmas and Easter, we lay special shifts, so it will not take longer.
Please note that after Christmas and in August, we have 10 days off of business and the delivery time is extended accordingly. However, you will be informed in detail.

Both. Depending on the institutions wishes, the parents can see ready-made folders or order the pictures they want in the set-up.
For our kindergartens we offer the Schatzkiste, for schools the Fotoaktion.
But no matter if it's a ready-made portfolio, a Fotoaktion or a Schatzkiste: you can always order from our Nachbestellservice.

At the photo campaign or treasure chest: You will receive an envelope after the photo session. It contains a card with the photo transaction or treasure box code. This allows you to view your pictures. Possibly. you, or the children already during the photo session a sign with a barcode and the order code. However, you will get the order envelope again later in each case. For series with finished folders: As soon as the pictures are ready, we send them in a large package to the institution, sorted by class in their own envelopes. In it are the actual photo folders of the group. The institution then distributes it to the children. Pictures that are not bought will be collected again. We can pick up these residual images. Classes are hardly disturbed by this procedure.

Of course not. If the photographer should not take pictures of your child, please inform the kindergarten beforehand.
In schools, we only photograph children with written permission. We only photograph volunteers;)

The digital student card is a plastic card the size of a bank card. The material is also identical to a check card. On the card is a digitalized photo of the student in color, name of the student, date of birth, name of the school, validity period and the digitized signature of the school board are also on the card. On request have on the back a box for the student's signature or a blank magnetic stripe (LoCo, others on order). All this information is applied to the plastic blank by a special process (thermal sublimation). As a result, the print is very resistant to abrasion and protected against manipulation. This procedure is considered very tamper-proof and is used in many countries around the world for driver's licenses or ID cards. This procedure is the highest quality available on the market. Competitors often work with paper cards that are protected only by cold, hot or wet laminate.

The Schatzkiste

The Die Schatzkiste is aimed at nurseries, crèches, kindergartens and elementary schools. Thanks to the advantages of the Internet, we can make you a very special offer:
In this series, we do not have to make expensive drawer prints of every picture, but everyone gets only the pictures he orders. The parents get a password after the photo session. So you can view all pictures of the photo session on our site. Of the pictures that they like, the parents can order prints. There are different sizes and variations available. We send the finished pictures directly to your home.
Because we know that all ordered images are also sold, we can calculate even scarce and offer you the pictures at a fantastic low price.
If you are interested in the series, we will gladly make you an offer.

 

Not answered your question? Go to the Support

No, but an Internet connection offers advantages.
We supply the kindergarten with a catalog with all pictures and order numbers. The parents can see the catalog in the nursery school and parents can then also order images via the order slip. The prices for the prints are equally low, but it can lead to longer delivery times. We also have to charge a small fee for the increased effort.

Not answered your question? Go to the Support

Yes. Usually, we do sibling and family shots in the afternoon, as long as the kindergarten wants it. We provide a sequence list for laying out and entering, so that waiting times are avoided.
Our photographic equipment is designed for family pictures of up to seven people.

Photosets


Depending on what you wanted. We offer finished folders with more than 20 different finished series. Each series has 10-70 pictures in one to 3 shooting positions.
However, at most facilities we have agreed not to supply finished series anymore. You can use the treasure chest, the photo campaign and the reordering service to put together series, order individual pictures or even select from finished series (at the photo campaign or in the reordering service).
The price depends on your wishes and requirements. At less than 5 € it starts.
We deliver pictures that parents want and can afford. If we deliver ready-made portfolios to the view, then you get presented only what was agreed with the institution. We do not do the bad habit of adding more pictures to the folders in the hope that the parents will already buy them.

Of course. Write the order number and your name in the subject of your transfer.

The school or kindergarten decides how the pictures can be paid. Either the institution takes over directly collecting the amount. Or the parents transfer the money directly to us, then each picture book is accompanied by a transfer slip.
