Display, gift, enjoy: get creative with Canon Photo Cube

Whether it's to document our children's milestones, capture that perfect holiday sunset or immortalise an important friendship, many of us are constantly taking photos and creating memories. But often our favourite snaps are either left saved on a camera, memory card, in the cloud, or printed out and lost among household chaos.

Making physical copies of your photos makes them a part of your environment, giving them the attention they deserve and letting you browse through special memories with friends or display them somewhere prominent to make you smile every time you pass them. The Canon Photo Cube is specially designed to keep your images safe and easy to access, offering not just the perfect storage solution, but lots of potential ways to get creative and display your treasured moments, too.

The Canon Photo Cube is a fun way to store square-shaped photos which appeal across generations – whether they remind you of the retro prints of your youth or more modern social media shots – helping to create a portable photograph album the whole family can enjoy.

The Photo Cube can be displayed anywhere in your home, becoming a part of the decor, or it can be a thoughtful personalised photo gift for someone special. With a number of different packs and options, there's something to suit a range of needs.

For those looking for inspiration to print their favourite photos and store them in a fun way, the Canon Photo Cube Value Pack comes with an attractive red keepsake box that makes organising and accessing your photos easy, and also acts as a great gift box to share cherished memories with family and friends.

You can buy the Photo Cube Value Pack with black and colour Canon ink cartridges depending on your PIXMA TS printer model (PG-560/CL-561 PIXMA FINE or PG-540/CL-541 PIXMA FINE cartridges), as well as 40 sheets of square-shaped glossy photo paper, so you can start printing and storing your images as soon as you open the box.

If you're keen to add even more of a personal touch, the Canon Photo Cube Creative Pack offers the additional potential to decorate the box itself by attaching your favourite square-shaped photos to its six sides. It opens up multiple possibilities for displaying your images around your home or making a gift box that's even more unique.

Similar to the Value Pack, you can choose to include black and colour ink cartridges and 40 sheets of glossy photo paper. There's also the option to add a Photo Cube Frame – an acrylic magnetic photo block that's a contemporary twist on the traditional photo frame. It stands up on its own, so can be positioned anywhere, and you can arrange a different image to be displayed on each side. It's easy to slide in a new photo anytime you feel like changing things up – just select a different image from your Photo Cube and put the old one back in the box for safe keeping.

1. Select the images you'd like to print on your laptop, tablet or smartphone. You may decide to use your Canon Photo Cube to store and display holiday photos, use it as an ever-evolving family album, or as a gift for someone's birthday. Think about which images best suit your needs.

2. If you want to add extra creative flourishes or personalisation, use one of Canon's printing apps to add final details to your designs, such as Canon Easy-PhotoPrint Editor to add text, frames or symbols.

3. Your Photo Cube pack comes complete with square glossy photo paper, so feed it into your compatible Canon printer, such as the Canon PIXMA TS5150 Series, and print the final images.

4. If you have the Creative Pack, choose six of your favourite images, or the ones you think will have the most impact, and stick them on the outside of your Photo Cube.

5. Put the remainder of the photos inside the Photo Cube for safe keeping.

6. If you have the Creative Pack with the Photo Cube Frame, select an image and install it into the frame. Remember you can arrange two photos back-to-back so that there's a different image showing on each side.

7. Now you're ready to display your Photo Cube and Frame in your home or gift them to someone special.

There are endless creative ways you can use the Canon Photo Cube as an exciting craft project, either on your own or as a family. A child could decorate it as part of their school homework, showing off their creative skills. It could be part of a mindful exercise, adding mantras to photos with Canon's apps and pulling them out of the box for daily inspiration.

Using it to display and store pictures of memorable moments – parties, weddings, travel adventures and more – means you can relive those experiences and share them with the people around you. Your Photo Cube could take pride of place on a shelf or mantelpiece, or you could position it on a coffee table for guests and family members to explore. It's a great way to start conversations and reminisce.

The Canon Photo Cube makes for a great photo gift idea for a special occasion, letting loved ones know how much you care and giving them something personal that they can treasure.

Canon Creative Park has a number of templates available for inspiration, including options to use as wedding or new baby keepsakes. Maybe a loved one is moving far away and you want to share your favourite memories, or your teenager is heading off to university and a Photo Cube with pictures from home could make them feel connected.

It could also be a thoughtful choice for a special anniversary or the perfect gift full of adorable pet portraits for that cat-lover friend. Additionally, a Photo Cube gift is the perfect box shape for wrapping, so no battling with difficult angles and precariously placed tape!

Designed to display square-shaped images, the Canon Photo Cube works with any Canon printer that is compatible with Canon's square photo paper. If you purchase a pack – either Value or Creative – that includes ink cartridges, remember to make sure they're the correct fit for your printer.
