New Rounded Corner Photos from Cross One
On October 10, 2025, Cross One Co., Ltd., based in Toshima, Tokyo, will launch a new product: rounded corner photo prints in size L (127 × 89 mm). To celebrate this launch, each print will be available at a special promotional price of 12 yen (including tax), down from the regular price of 18 yen. This limited-time offer runs from October 10 to November 30, 2025. The new product not only features a kid-friendly rounded shape but also maintains the high quality that comes with silver halide printing.
Background and Purpose of the Product
In households where photo printing is commonplace, parents often express concerns over the sharp corners of traditional photos, especially when young children handle them. The CEO of Cross One, Hiroshi Shinagawa, observed this issue when he noticed his grandchild feeling uncomfortable due to sharp corners while holding photos. This triggered the idea to create a photo print that eliminates sharp edges. The realization that rounded photos could enhance the safety and enjoyment for children led to prototype testing. The reaction from parents and educators was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing support for the product's release.
