Label and hand over
Keep each roll identified. Arrange collection or shipping directly; we confirm the handover in writing.
Before you get in touch
Useful questions.
How do I arrange a film drop-off?
Contact us first to confirm accepted stock, the process, output and return arrangements. We will agree the handover or shipping details before you send anything.
Does a scan include a print?
No. Scanning and printing are separate parts of an order, so please tell us which output you need.
Can damaged or expired film be processed?
Tell us what you know about the stock and its storage before handing it over. We can discuss the order, but no usable result can be guaranteed.
