Whether you're a professional photographer or a casual traveler capturing snapshots, FilmGuard ensures the integrity of your film supply. Available in small, medium, and large sizes, FilmGuard shields unprocessed sheet film and cassette film from the low-dosage x-ray machines employed in carry-on luggage checks worldwide.
Full-length hook and loop closures on FilmGuard bags not only shield your film and disks from x-rays but also offer protection against dust and weather. It is essential to note that FilmGuard is not designed for use in checked luggage, which undergoes higher doses of x-rays. Therefore, it is recommended to store film in FilmGuard bags and place them in your carry-on luggage rather than checked baggage. Featuring a robust three-layer construction, FilmGuard boasts a water-resistant ballistic nylon outer shell, a lead-impregnated vinyl sheet for x-ray protection, and a smooth 420 Denier nylon packcloth interior. When not in use, FilmGuard bags can be stored flat or used as a protective wrap around your equipment.
Expert Tested
InVision Technologies, Inc., the creators of the only Federal Aviation Administration-approved checked-luggage scanning system, conducted thorough tests on FilmGuard bags. Films with speeds of up to ISO 800 were included in the extensive testing, demonstrating that FilmGuard's design effectively shields film and disks from low-dosage x-ray units used for carry-on luggage checks. The tests also revealed that using the amount of lead required to protect film from high-dosage x-ray units would make the bags impractically heavy.
