I made these S. Korean albums out of Dansco's blank products. My albums are sort of unique in that they were assembled purposely to accommodate Airtite-brand coin capsules.

Anybody else do this with different countries?

Well done! I don't use Dansco myself so I can't really compare your work with factory made but they look very professionally made.

I do notice that a couple of the albums look a little 'puffy". If so, is this due to the depth of the plastic capsules, or is it from having too many pages (ie: 10 Won)?

Yeah they look good. Can you show a close up of the pages? I'd be interested in the descriptions, are they labels or printed to the page?

My world coins go in 2x2's and stored in airtite containers, but I lose out on the nice display effect you have.

I cannot really upload a decent photo due to the image size restrictions here at CC. I uploaded an image at Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cof3wb6PrY7/

The pages might look puffy because each page consists of two of these Dansco pages adhered together to accommodate the thickness of the Airtite capsules.

I used Dennison Easy-peel clear address labels that I ran off of my computer's printer using "copperplate" font (which closely resembles the Dansco original print). You have to cut the labels down to size. It's not the best result, but it beats spending stupid amounts of money to have a lithographic company do it; and THEY might not even do it for you anyway since you aren't submitting a huge order.

BTW, how do you reply to someone's comment here?
I can never reply to someone at CC, only post another comment.

mlov, these discussions are linear in the sense that replies are in chronological order instead of nested, so threads do not become too branched.
By the way, that is a fantastic job you've done with your binders. They look professionally done, and I admire them.
