HANDCHECKFILM 35mm Travel Set – Protect your film from airport X-ray damage
💡 The HANDCHECKFILM website features a collection of great resources about traveling with film and avoiding X-Ray damage, complete with a crowdsourced database of world airport reports.
The HANDCHECKFILM 35mm Travel Set is designed to help photographers protect their unprocessed 35mm film from potential damage caused by airport X-ray scanners. While the included bag is not X-ray proof, it serves as a clear and polite visual prompt to encourage manual inspection by security staff.
The set includes:
- “Do Not X-Ray” Bag – A reusable bag with clear labeling to signal film sensitivity and request hand checking.
- 3200 ISO Stickers – High-visibility labels that emphasize the film’s vulnerability to X-rays, increasing the chance of manual inspection.
This kit is especially useful for travelers carrying high-speed film (ISO 800 and up), which is more susceptible to fogging.
It’s a simple, non-confrontational way to raise awareness and increase the likelihood of a hand check, especially in busy international airports.
Key Features:
- Helps advocate for manual hand-checking of unprocessed film at airports
- Includes labeled bag and ISO 3200 stickers for visibility
- Reusable and lightweight – Easy to carry in any camera bag
- Not X-ray proof, but an effective communication tool
- Ideal for photographers traveling with high-speed 35mm film
