MOC pre-printed albums

Made by Leuchtturm, the same company who produce the Lighthouse brand, the MOC system is a pre-printed album in binder form. This modular system allows you to focus your collection and build the album that works for you.

It hits all the same quality markers as the Lighthouse range, allowing safe, hingeless mounting of stamps. New pages are added annually.

Lindner Albums

Lindner, a German company, make a ring binder system for collectors with a comprehensive range of printed pages covering the entire stamp issuing globe. These follow the Michel catalogue layout. Their illustrated, hingeless pages, use a pocket system covered by a film sleeve. Everything is acid and chemical free and should preserve your beloved collection beautifully.

The binders are well made and well presented and the system updates in June every year with supplemental pages.

Safe Albums

These hingeless Safe albums live up to their name and are highly rated by advanced collectors.

An interleaved foil page takes the stamps, matching them to printed country pages in binders. You get both pages when you buy country albums or annual updates.

The paper is ph-neutral and heavy and there are similar conservation guarantees on the transparencies. Stamps are held in place by the pocket’s seam (which is welded, not glued, so free of chemicals).

Rare stamps are highly delicate pieces of paper often decades, or even more than a century old.

As a collector it's your role to preserve them - for yourself and for future generations.

Though they were designed to survive robust, sometimes automated sorting and delivery processes, they were also made to be cheap, single-use, essentially disposable items.
