PasPic Limited launches paspic.com, the
Internet's first e-photo booth. The launch of PasPic.com, the Internet's first website designated to passport photos, will change the face of passport photo buying forever. To quote
their home page, "It's that simple!" PasPic is a user-friendly website. Registration, uploading and storage are free. The only charge is 75p for 6 official passport size photos. P&P is £1.20 for any size order, so the more photos the user orders the more money they save. Uploading, ordering and purchasing can all be done via the
Internet. The final product is posted First Class to the user's door within 2 working days of ordering. With PasPic the user can choose their own photos, store as many as they like, and use
and reuse favourite ones. PasPic also offers a free scanning and uploading service for users without digital cameras or scanners. This is a clear and accessible site with a simple and
original service that will make the high street photo booth as we know it obsolete. Patent and trademarks pending.

Company History
In 1995, the Company was founded by, among others, Online Agencies and Photo-Me International Plc, for the primary purpose of connecting to the information superhighway the
Business Card kiosks offered by Photo-Me on the high street. Following changes in the structure of the Company(Photo-Me sold all of its shares), the Company changed its name to PasPic Limited and has moved on. Now, rather than connecting the kiosk to the Internet, they're taking the photo booth (kiosk) from the high street and placing it directly in your home.
