New Qualex Custom Wholesale Photo Services Can Complement Retailers’ In-Store Offerings

Retailers can rely on a range of new digital fulfillment services from Qualex, Kodak’s wholesale photofinishing subsidiary in the U.S., to grow their photo business. Qualex’s digital solutions provide retailers with alternative price/value printing solutions, digital fulfillment to locations that cannot justify in-store investment, and an expanded portfolio of offerings beyond what they can do on-site.

“Our broad range of services and ability to serve virtually anywhere in the nation, allows retailers to offer a full line of digital products and services at any location, regardless of store volume or store capabilities,” said Mark DeSimone, president of Qualex. Qualex’s new services include a picture scanning service, and a wide range of custom photo merchandise including photo books, flip books, collages, posters and mugs.

The picture scanning service gives consumers the option to pick up a kit from a participating retail location or order a kit from an on-line website. Consumers simply follow the instructions to package all their photos and then returns the kit with their prints to the retailer, or ships it directly to Qualex.

Qualex scans the images, uploads them to an on-line account and safely stores them to a KODAK Picture Movie DVD, which can contain up to 2,000 images. The service, which will be available this summer, is expected to cost less than $100. The original pictures and completed KODAK Picture Movie DVD are returned in the same manner they were delivered to Qualex.
