You might be thinking of the case where the constant pressure of light erodes physical barriers. We should live so long!Originally Posted by Arcus
Long ago a person told me that one shouldn't latch a dishwasher's door closed when it wasn't being used, lest the rubber seals dry out and crack. I just had two of a batch of six holders I bought on Ebay fall apart in my hands. These holders are older than I am...just thought there might be a "best practices" for extending their useful lives.You might be thinking of the case where the constant pressure of light erodes physical barriers.

No. It should be left ajar so the dishes inside don't get moldy due to moisture build-up.
Assume you mean storing empty holders (otherwise of course you need the slides in!). I've always kept them with the slides in, but if they are empty I keep the flaps open so I know they are empty.
Ditto Peter Lewin. A glance in a lightroom tells all.

keep slides in on my holders, but I also use tape on the holders with film type and expiry date. so no tape = no film
notch codes ? I only use one film...
I always store my film holders with the darkslides in, keeps the dust out and keeps me from losing the darkslides. Freds tape recommendation is also good, I've also been doing that minus the expiration date. Now I'll have to add the date.
Most of my film holders are also stored in ziplock bag, again to combat dust.

this is only because I use expired film for random stuff, but expose fresh film for important work, so I don't mix them up lolI...I've also been doing that minus the expiration date. Now I'll have to add the date....
