Summary
Small cloth film mailing bag used to post a single cartridge of film for processing. It features a writable tab for affixing stamp and writing the return address, as well as instructions for posting.
This cloth film mailing bag came together with three Kodak film canisters as a donation to the Kodak Museum in 1985.
This product is part of the Kodak collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down.
Kodak manufactured and distributed a wide range of photographic products to Australasia, such as film, paper, chemicals, cameras and miscellaneous equipment. Its client base included amateur and professional photographers, as well as specialist medical and graphic art professionals who used photography, x-ray and other imaging techniques.
