Old photograph format

[Jukebag]

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows what the type of camera or format was called that, when you got the developed prints back each photo came developed onto a cardboard type paper displaying the photo large size on one side but with two smaller versions on the left. The photos were displayed in a square format. I have a number of photos like this which seem to be predominantly from the 1970s. I haven't come across any negatives from these particular prints, but I don't think they're Polaroid.

Anyone know what type film format/camera these were from?.

Triple print is what I remember from the 90s using normal 35mm cameras and film. It was just the developing company Triple print who returned it in the way you talk about.

Cheers for that's interesting. Yeah the photos where printed like thst, never knew it was the company that developed them was the reason there were three photos on one piece of paper. I don't remember anyone having these from the 90s. I think I have about a dozen film prints developed in this manner amongst the family album of popular formats from the 40s-80s, but those triple prints appear to be entirely from the 1970s. No idea why my family chose to get them developed this way, must've been in abit of a trend at the time.

I used those back in the day.

I recall they sent you a "free" roll of 35mm film back with the prints.

Can you imagine waiting 10 days to see your snaps now?

Probably for the same reason why my parents did the same back in the 90s. You'd have 2 extra copies of the photos you could cut out and keep in your wallet etc for the price of a normal photo development, and you wouldn't need to wait another 10 days for reprints.

The 90s versions weren't square card, they were just slightly wider than 6x4 prints on normal photo paper with the mini versions tacked on the end.

I go about 6 months before I get round to developing the roll of film I've taken. The anticipation of seeing how the negatives come out is addictive. Probably more addictive now than it was back in t'day.

Intamatic cameras using a plastic cartridge loaded with film ID no.126 was a square format used in the late 60's early 70's.
