Spring-Underclass
Most of our Spring programs are prepay only. This means that only students who placed their orders on picture day are photographed individually. If you want to confirm whether your child was photographed and whether you can order pictures, please contact our Customer Service at (866) 624-6229 or cservice@strawbridge.net for more information.

Sports:

Most of our sports programs are prepay only. This means that only students who placed their orders on picture day are photographed individually. If you want to confirm whether your child was photographed or if you would like to order a team picture, please contact our Customer Service at (866) 624-6229 or cservice@strawbridge.net for more information.

Orders that are turned in after picture day are processed and returned to the school or mailed to your home address as soon as possible, once the original orders are complete. If your order is shipping to your home, you will receive a notification when your order ships. However, if you would like a status on your picture package, please contact our Customer Service at (866) 624-6229 or cservice@strawbridge.net.

If you have placed an order online and are charged a shipping fee, it is because the original orders from the school are already in process. Any orders placed after the processing of the original orders begins will be processed separately and mailed to the shipping address provided during online checkout.

Your payment code is the same as your Invoice number. It is 11 characters long and can be found on the receipt you received after you place your online order.

The most common reason a credit card is declined online is due to an address or zip code mismatch where the address entered for the billing information does not match the address the credit card company or bank has on file. The pending transaction means that your account was located, but the transaction could not be completed. The pending transaction will automatically be removed from your account in approximately 3-5 business days. Unfortunately, Strawbridge Studios cannot assist with the removal of the pending charges. If you need assistance, please contact your bank or card company directly.

We’re sorry you are unhappy with your portraits. Please contact our Customer Service department at (866) 624-6229 or cservice@strawbridge.net to let us know why you are unhappy with your pictures.

Online Ordering:

Yes! As long as you are purchasing pictures for multiple students for the same picture day, you can place an order for both students under one order. You will need to order the pictures for one student, then enter the code for your second child to continue your ordering.

However, at this time, you are not able to order a Fall picture and a Spring or Classroom Group picture at the same time.

Ordering by cash/check/money order:

To track orders accurately and efficiently, each envelope must include ONLY the payment for the specific student and specific package listed on that envelope. If you would like to pay for multiple students at the same time, please place your order via our online system.

You can complete a Contact Form on our website or contact our Customer Service Department at (866) 624-6229 or cservice@strawbridge.net. We will correct your order to ensure you receive the order you paid for!

We do post our images online for you to review for our proof and speculation programs once the images are processed. For our prepay programs, the images will be posted online after picture day. However, if you wait to order after picture day, you may be charged a $7.00 late order fee to process and ship your prints.

If you purchase prints without viewing them and are unhappy with them for any reason, you can have the pictures retaken if a retake day is available (Fall Only), or you may send them back to us for a full refund. Please contact our Customer Service Department at (866) 624-6229 or cservice@strawbridge.net for assistance.

We now offer multi-child ordering, so you can place one order for multiple students under one transaction if your students attend the same school. This can assist with saving on ship to home fees when those fees are being applied.

They will be able to issue you a refund for your order.

Our images are copyrighted and cannot be reproduced from the individual prints. However, you can go online and purchase a digital download of your child’s image. Along with the digital image, you will receive the photo release for the image so prints can be made. You will need to provide this photo release to any print shop to produce your copies. If you have questions, please contact our Customer Service Department at (866) 624-6229 or cservice@strawbridge.net.

If you do not like the upgrades provided, we will happily reprint any upgraded package with a different upgrade of equal or lesser value or remove all upgrades from the image and reprint the package ordered at no additional charge. Please contact our Customer Service Department at (866) 624-6229 or cservice@strawbridge.net for assistance with this process.

The digital download is sent using the original image on the background it was photographed on. To receive the digital download with your background upgrade, please email CService@strawbridge.net with your child’s name, school name and order number and the information that you need your digital download with the background upgrade. We will email you with your corrected image.

If you placed an order but only received a slip with ordering information, don’t worry! Your order is being processed.

Prepay- If you received an envelope to order before picture day, but did not place your order until after picture day, your order is being processed separately from the original orders. In most cases, you have paid the $7.00 shipping and handling fee for your package to be processed and delivered directly to your home.

Proof- If you received an envelope with your child’s picture on it and placed your order more than 2 weeks after receipt of your envelope, your order is being processed separately from the original orders. In most cases, you have paid the $7.00 shipping and handling fee for your package to be processed and delivered directly to your home.

If you received your package from the original picture day and do not like them, you can participate in the retake day at your school. Simply return the package you received and do not want to the photographer on retake day. We will then reprocess your original order using the new picture from retake day. You do not need to place a new order.

If you ordered a digital download or it was included in your package and you did not receive it, please check your Spam/Junk filter in your email. Sometimes the emails get accidentally filed away by your email provider. If it is not in your Spam/Junk folder, we may not have your email or the email address we have on file is incorrect. Please email cservice@strawbridge.net with your child’s name, school name, order number and information that you did not receive your digital download and have already checked your spam filter. We will send you the image you did not receive.

If you placed your order after picture day, it may take approximately 4 weeks to deliver your package. If you have not received your order 4 weeks after your order is placed, you can contact us at cservice@strawbridge.net to request a status update on your order.

If the school has closed their sale for the year, we will allow reorders to be placed.  There is a non-negotiable $10 reorder fee, and we do not provide personalization on reorders if the school previously offered that option.  Please email cservice@strawbridge.net for more information.

Not every school is signed up to allow for the option to have the name and/or picture on the front cover.  Unfortunately, if they did not choose this plan, we are unable to include personalization on the cover.

We are a wholesale provider and mail all books in bulk to the school.  Once the school has completely run out of books and closed their sales, you may call and place a reorder through our company

Yearbooks are typically distributed toward the end of the school year.  However, each school will have its own particular timeline for delivery.  Please contact the school’s yearbook advisor if you have specific questions regarding distribution.

We keep digital copies of yearbooks for the past 5 school years on file.  To place and order, please contact us at 866-624-6229.

Schools are responsible for keeping track of yearbook sales as yearbook envelopes are turned in. If you are allowing Strawbridge to sell yearbooks online, a Portal will be provided for you to track all online orders. Both softwares have tools available for you to track and manage sales along the way.

If your school has chosen to allow online ordering, parents will be able to order online. We have sales flyers and envelopes available for advertisement upon request.

The school manages the sale of yearbooks and should be the first point of contact to order yearbooks. If the school has finalized their sale for the year, Strawbridge can provide parents with yearbooks.

There are many things you can do to promote yearbook sales at your school:

• • Host an email campaign and/or post the direct link to your communication apps
  • Mention the upcoming yearbook sale deadlines on the morning announcements
  • Hold a cover contest around school to drum up interest for the yearbook
  • Place posters provided by Strawbridge in high traffic areas around the school
  • Send home the order forms provided to the school
  • Display the pages you have designed in a public area dedicated to collecting yearbook money

If you need more assistance, please contact your yearbook representative.

There are a number of steps you can take to make your yearbook layout process smooth and efficient. We recommend:

• Fill out the page ladder in your kit to organize the order that your book is going to be laid out. You can start preparing the pages by placing backgrounds, clipart and text on the pages you intend to flow the students on.
• Make sure you have pictures for each class, club, sport, and organization that you want to dedicate space to in your yearbook. It’s always good to have an activity or a group shot of each class so you can decorate your page with diverse images.
• Make sure you have extra activity shots and field trip pictures for your montage pages.
• To keep a book interesting, you will find that you create montage pages to end a section or fill pages in the yearbook
• Get your hands on a few old yearbooks. They could be from a previous year at your school or yearbooks from other schools in the area. This will give you some ideas and will provide a loose guide to follow while laying out your yearbook.
• If you have extra pictures and you don’t know if you can use them or where to place them, consider these pictures for your montage pages. You’d be surprised what you can come up with!
• Organize all your pictures in a structured manner. Create a master yearbook folder on your desktop, then create folders within that master folder for each page in your book. As you collect images, store them in the appropriate folder. Then, when you’re ready to upload your pictures, they’ll fall right into place.
• Most importantly, make sure you receive and check your Student Directory! The sooner the Student Directory is corrected, the sooner you can start laying out the most important part of the book- your students!

Our yearbook representatives can come by to do an in-person training. You can also contact one our yearbook support members to schedule a webinar. There are numerous tutorials available on our website to assist you in your yearbook design process.

Backgrounds and graphic elements can be created in an alternate software, like Photoshop, and uploaded into the software. Please save these images as RGB color JPGs

If you are having trouble uploading images, please email ybsupport@strawbridge.net for assistance.

All images should be RGB color JPGs. If you can control your image size, you should set them to 300 DPI and make them 4.5×6 inches, 2241×3000 pixels.

We make sure your original, absentee, and faculty picture days are included in one export. Once the absentee picture day images are submitted to our lab, we upload all of your students to your layout software.

The provided PSPA images are OK for online use. However, the images are sized down to be used for yearbook portraits only. Printing them any larger than a portrait panel will result in poor print quality. You may want to contact your representative for more information regarding the products and services we can offer.

There are a few options for your yearbook cover. See below:

• • Standard Cover: We provide a number of pre-made designs for you to choose from.  Visit https://www.strawbridge.net/administrators/yearbooks/our-program/standard-cover-designs/ to view and select a standard cover.
  • Create your own: You can design your own cover in the layout software we provide. You can also design your own cover in whichever software you feel comfortable with, but you must submit a PDF that is print ready (11.25×17.25, 1/16th bleed on each side).
  • Custom Cover Design: Submit all digital materials to ybsupport@strawbridge.net, and in the subject line of the email, include your school name and the words ‘Yearbook Custom Cover’. One of our talented designers will create a custom cover for you. If you have an idea you would like us to work with, please let us know in your email.

If you have hard copy materials that need to be scanned, please send them to:
