All language subtitles for HOW TO MAIL YOUR FILM SAFELY _ Medium format film + Contax 645 _ Fine Art Wedding Photographer

Hey, guys.

Welcome to my channel.

Thanks so much for joining me today.

I'm just making a quick video today
on how to nail your film.

I know it seems like a silly thing
to make a video on,

but I get asked this question quite often.

So I want to make sure that you guys
are mailing out your film correctly

so you can avoid having it
getting lost or customs actually

opening up the box of the envelope,
which I've heard has happened.

So anyway, first
what you want to make sure is that

you put all of your film
into a Ziploc bag.

So make sure that you've labeled any film,
if there's any pushing or pulling

that you need the lab to do that
needs to be labeled on the actual film

roll that you've pushed to make sure
everything is labeled correctly.

In this case,
I'm not pushing or pulling up just

having my film processed normally.

So I'm going to put it all in this bag.

Make sure to count all of your film worlds
for the order form.

And that's good to go.

So next, I have

these
boxes that I purchased off a new line.

I tried getting the smaller boxes
just because a lot of the time I'm

only mailing out maybe 1015 or 20 rolls.

And the less space
that you take up, the better.

So obviously it costs less money.

So this is just the square box.

I make sure to tape it using this
nice, thick, clear tape, and I tape

all the edges making sure that there's
no place where water could easily get in.

So next, what I'm going to do
is just fill out the form

and all you to do is
go on your labs website I use for vision

and you print out one of their forms
and you just fill that out.

And that's going to go inside
of the Ziploc bag with your fill.

Now, my printer
has been working for a long time,

so I typically just write it
in a notebook.

I know all the questions
that the formats in the lab.

We have a relationship,
so they know exactly what I'm looking for,

but make sure you do print those out
form to make things easier.
