Find the best film and strips increase the efficiency

All movies and reels have to be stored in an efficient manner so that they can be maintained for a longer period and can be reused when required. Vented film cans are just another form of storing films. They have major advantages due to which they are preferred:

•              They significantly improve airflow under the film, reducing acetic acid levels which extend the lifespan of the film

•              They are built with raised ribs to provide solid and even support throughout the film roll, thereby preventing film sagging and edge distortion.

•              They have platform designs which make them easy to store and can be stacked or un-stacked with less labor effort.

•              The finishing of Vented film cans is smooth and suitable for long-term.

A-D strips are known as Acid detection strips. They are dye-coated paper strips that detect and measure the severity of acetate film deterioration, a.k.a. vinegar syndrome, in film collections. The strips are sold in packages of 250 and come with a user's guide. When placed inside a closed can, bag, box, or cabinet, A-D Strips change color in the presence of the acidic vapor given off by degrading film. As the level of acidity increases, they change from their original blue color through blue-green, green, and yellow-green, and finally to bright yellow. Use AD Strips to learn the approximate extent of acetate degradation in individual films, or use them as a survey tool for gaining an overview of film condition in an entire collection and to get a more accurate picture of storage and duplication needs.
