So how do you place the order for 8mm movie film transfer?
Its very easy. First get all your 8mm movie films together. If you want to place them in a specific order just write the number on the either the cardboard box or plastic reels themselves or on the metal canisters. Circle that number. Usually theres lots of note on the reels, by circling the numbers we can tell which is which. We will place each reel in order on the DVD/Blu-ray, also the chapters will be in the same specific order, the chapters will also correlate with the numbers on the movie film reels.
If you want us to title the chapters, please type that out so the chapters can be legible. For example.
Reel number 1: Paris June 1978
Reel number 2: Timmy’s Birthday Party 1982 etc.
Now its time to package your order and ship it out.
For sending your order, UPS or FedEx are recommended shipping options. Choosing a service with tracking allows you to monitor the package throughout its journey and provides additional peace of mind. After more than 20 years of transferring movie film, we have not experienced an incident involving a lost film shipment.
Although 8mm film canisters are fairly durable, proper packaging is still important. A few simple precautions can help prevent damage while your films are in transit.
- Cushion the film: Wrap the canisters with bubble wrap and add packing peanuts, crumpled newspaper, or other suitable cushioning material to prevent the items from shifting inside the box.
- Choose a sturdy box: Inspect the shipping box before use and make sure it is strong and undamaged. Avoid sending movie film in an old, worn, or weakened box.
- Avoid flimsy envelopes: Do not place 8mm movie film in a thin or damaged mailing envelope. A rigid, well-protected box offers much better protection during transportation.
- Secure the package properly: Seal the box firmly with strong packing tape. We generally apply three strips across the top—one through the center and one toward each side—followed by two horizontal strips for additional support.
- Seal both ends: Apply the same taping method to the bottom of the box to ensure it remains securely closed throughout shipping.
