Your negs go into the smaller envelop which then goes into the larger one with the opening end in first. I don't know about the long term effects of this on film, but I use this as only short term storage and have never experienced p roblems. I use tabs -- again made from duct tape -- to identify the different p rocessing modes.
This doesn't take a lot of room when traveling and allows you to hold a lot of e xposed film. I also use poly sleeves for each sheet of film to prevent scuffing . I've been able to store much more than 100 sheets in the different envelopes w ithout a worry about misfiling.
