Shipping Film to Color Services

Shipping Other Originals to Color Services

The single best thing you can do to protect your originals is to ship them in a sturdy box. The sturdier the box, the safer the shipment! Use bubble wrap or crumpled paper for padding so your originals don't slide around in transit.

- Video Tapes and Home Movies‍

We recommend that you label your media before we digitize it. If you want them transferred in a particular order, please number them too.

- Prints or Film for Shoebox Scans

It is helpful if you can include an estimate of the size of your order but a precise count is not required. We will get a final tally from our quantity of scans.

Photos: Shoebox Scans are for photos from 2.5” x 3.5” to 8.5” x 11”. Photos can be grouped in envelopes, resealable plastic bags, shoe boxes or dedicated photo boxes. You may use index cards to divide and sort your photos, and if you label the cards in numerical order, we will scan in that order. Prints cannot be submitted in albums.

35mm Slides: Slides can be grouped in slide boxes, carousels or bundled with rubber bands. Recycled boxes from aluminum foil, wax paper or plastic wrap also make excellent boxes for slides.

35mm Negatives: Negatives that are grouped in plastic sleeves or binder pages can be boxed as-is. Our staff will remove them from the sleeves, scan each negative and return them to the sleeves in the same order as received. Loose strips of negatives can be grouped in envelopes.
