This year our Graphics Team have a pretty big year planned with lots of time being spent working on new templates and products.
We have already released a range of Valentine’s Day templates for our Wood Prints which has had a great response from customers.

Desktop & Online Designers
We have just upgraded our online designer. Some of the new features include page preview thumbnails, improved auto-fill, improvements to the text editor and many other improvements and fixes.

We plan to release a new Windows and Mac upgrade the week of the 8^th of Feb. You can download the upgrade by opening up our software application and downloading the update. You could also download the latest version from our website.

New Templates!
We have added more categories to our Classic and Lay-flat Photobook collections to make it easier for you to find the template you're looking for, such as our new 'Birthday' category.
It includes 10 new milestone photobook layouts with a huge range of sizes and upgrade options, new ‘Wedding’, ‘Nature’, ‘Themed’ and ‘Everyday’ layouts.
There’s something for everyone!

Also, look out for our two new personalised jigsaw puzzle sizes now available. The perfect gift for adults and kids!
As always, if something is not quite right or you have any suggestions please let us know. We love to hear your feedback to improve our website and templates.

December was a busy month for us in Production. This meant increasing the number of staff and of course increasing our production hours. We were lucky enough to be able to hire 10 new staff members who worked very hard along with our existing team to have all of the Christmas orders sent out in time. We hope that everyone was very happy with their Christmas presents.

We also saw the introduction of a few new machines which has reduced the production time for a couple of products including a second binding machine in our Pro Photobook area and another machine in our canvas wrapping department.

We built a new, temperature controlled area in the warehouse which is now home to our Pro Photobooks. Along with this new area, we also installed air conditioning in the warehouse which will make those hot summer days much nicer to work in! Lucky us!

The team celebrated our Christmas Party in the warehouse this year (Covid style)! We had a lot of fun with Secret Santa, a raffle and a Mexican food truck!

As always, we continue to work on our Production processes and procedures to work towards faster production times and high quality products.

We look forward to another year in Production!

Happy New Year to all of our new and existing customers! Like most of the world we are glad to see the back of 2020 and look forward to this year with great optimism.

The 2020 year certainly threw a number of challenges at us as a Support Team. Some of us had to adapt to working from home and our queries from new and existing customers increased substantially. Despite many more calls and emails, our team  still managed to respond to all customer queries within 24 hours. We would like to thank all of our customers who contacted us during this period for their patience and support. It has been a challenging time for everyone.

As you may already be aware, our customer pickup service has been put on hold until further notice.  This is a precaution we have had to take due to the continuing issues surrounding COVID-19. We appreciate your understanding.

We have introduced a new system for keeping your ordered projects. Most online printing companies do not keep files after your order has been shipped. We have updated our systems enabling us to keep your ordered projects indefinitely. These files are also backed to the cloud. This way you have peace of mind knowing there is a backup of your project allowing you to still order an old project even if it has been somehow lost from your computer. A yearly subscription for this service is only $29.

Alternatively, you can login to your account and cancel the scheduled delete date of your project every six months when you receive the email notification. To subscribe to this service, you can email business@photobookshop.com.au . Online projects that have not been submitted for printing are stored for 6 months with no activity on that project. We will send separate notifications for this before deleting.

Our Support Team are available from Monday to Friday between 9am - 9pm and on Saturdays from 10am - 5pm AEST. If you do need assistance, head to our website and click on ‘Help’ in the top right hand corner, then click on ‘Log in to our help desk’. Here you can view our FAQ, lodge an email enquiry, or chat with us online.

As always, we hope everyone is staying safe during these crazy times and we look forward to another great year in Customer Support!
