Mailing sheet film for processing

[lawnboyTN]

If I was to mail some 4x5s to E-Six labs in Atlanta, how would a man do that?
What do I put the film in, in order that I may mail them so they are not exposed?
I'm sure there's an easy answer, but I'm kinda new to this.

Thanks,
LawnboyTN

You get an empty film box, the kind with three "halves", for lack of a better word; tape it up so it doesn't open accidentally.
On the box top, write your name, phone number, address, what kind of film it is, what process it requires (C-41, E-6, etc), and how many sheets are in the box.
Put that in a heavy black film plastic, and put that in a bubble envelope or shipping box.
Ask that the film box and plastic be returned to you.

Just an fyi, if using usps to deliver your package, use a BOX. this time of year I've had them trashing envelopes right and left.

Those small FR boxes are $5 and can take a bit of abuse an envelope can't...

Thank you for you help. I thought that's how I would ship it but I did not want the labs to think I was a rookie and I did not know how to get my box back, never thought of just asking for it.

Thanks again,

Also write on your film box EXPOSED FILM! OPEN IN COMPLETE DARKNESS.

Do that in large lettering with the biggest Sharpie pen you can find.
