Over many years, I bought many boxes of 4x5 foil/plastic 'envelopes'
that were marketed by Kodak.
I believe that their purpose was for long-term preservation...
although I used them as 'holding bags'
for temporary storage of exposed films, removed from the 'used' film
holders in my dark-box.
I cannot say that I remember ever arriving home any 'scratched'
negatives.
I fold over the top and 'seal' the envelope (temporarily) with tape.
But.... I have also used these envelopes
for long term storage of measured amounts (5 to 80g) of dry
photographic chemicals... with the opening
sealed with tacking iron
I believe there is a company still selling photographic archiving
products that carry a similar product
that will take numerous sheets of negatives.
I will do a search later this evening when I can get some 'free to
browse time'

Hi All,
I'm leaving next week on a 14 day road trip into the northern
Quebec taiga (54°N). Amongst other things, I plan on bringing my
8x10 Deardorff. I have 10 8x10 film holders and I plan on shooting
Tri-X 320 and Fuji Provia 100 colour reversal film. I want to
shoot more than the 20 sheets that will be loaded into the
holders. I was thinking that once the film has been exposed, I
could remove it from the holders and insert new film. Problem is,
how do I store the exposed undeveloped 8x10s. I was thinking of
using an old 8x10 film box (3 boxes in one and black plastic
envelope) but does each sheet have to be separate from the other
when they are in the black envelope. Is there any danger of the
sheets of film sticking to each other???? or should I put a sheet
of 8x10 paper between each sheet of film. Worse comes to worse,
I could insert each sheet of film into a separate plastic 8x10 neg
holder used to store developed film.
Is my solution viable? Anybody been in a similar situation and how
did you solve the problem? I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks.
Cheers,
Bogdan
