Hello, I need these films for my wedding on November 30th. What is the shelf life of the lot if I'm buying today?

Although I do not work for Fujifilm - i have used this film extensively. I buy the large pack of film about every year. I keep mine in a dark place (in a drawer). The film works great a year after I buy it. The benefit with using this whole 'system' is that the Fujifilm is NEW! It's less than a year old. Whereas if you bought an original 'polaroid' brand camera and you were LUCKY enough to find film for it - it would have been made in the 1980's. (yeah that old!) After 20 years - unused film can go bad. Fujifilm used in this system is NEW (1 year old or less) It will be fine!

first of all, congrat. for getting married soon, and for sure the films will make it to nov 30...the shelf life is very long, as long as you keep them in dry and cool place ( i store mine in my closet)

I've left my extra film in the box for months at a time before using it and haven't seen any issues with quality. I have even left a pack of film in my car during the summer heat of Florida and the pictures still have come out great!

I've kept the film in a cool dark closet for 2 - 3 months...no degradation to the filmJim

There were not expired. That's the first thing I checked when I received my film. Hope this helps with your purchase!

Mine says it expires May, 2017 for lot 4304. I don't think that there is any guarantee that you will get the same lot, but I would not think you need to worry about expiration unless you want to store them for a long, long time.

Yes. The shelf life isn't that bad, as Janet has said. Just try and be dedicated to them before you get a lot of them, even if you do not like the taste.

I freeze mine and it can last pretty much forever if kept frozen. I also keep some in the refrigerator for when I need a roll quickly. B&W films tend to last longer than color films anyway so it should last a while if it's new stock.

The sell by date depends on when it was packaged. If it's been stored in a cool dry place it should be fine. Smell it, if it's not rancid smelling, I'd use it.

they are pre-cut, shelf life is 12 months. Always keep image stores at room temperature, be sure to keep it in a sealed air thigh zip-lock bag inside the packing envelope out of any direct light, until ready to apply to cake.

Hi! Here are some I recommend:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00890HPB0These are gold archival with a shelf life of up to 100 years.

It will depend on when you buy the film and what they have available. When I received my film (which was a few years ago), the expiration date was at least a year and a half out. If you want to know the exact date of the item you'd order, your best bet is to contact a seller directly and ask.

There are two gold foil wrapped and sealed filets in package, each of which is dated. They last refrigerated for two or three months, and I should think they could be frozen. I was not asked, but in my opinion, they were way too salty.

I didn't save any of the boxes, but the film was good for a couple of years before it expired. If I find a box, I'll update the post.

Thank you so very much, although I already knew about refrigeration at 55 degrees, and thawing it out for 1-1/2 hrs before opening the package. My question was addressed to the seller to try to find out what expiration date was on the boxes he is selling. Again, many thanks for your response anyway.By the way, the shelf life under refrigeration from the point of manufacture (i.e. "professional" grade film) is 4 to 5 years, assuming you didn't receive the film already expired. The composition of the film doesn't actually break down, either. The film speed of the film starts to decrease. For example, expired ISO 160 film could still be shot at ISO 100 with satisfactory results.Michael Babineaux, New Iberia, LA Thank you so very much, although I already knew about refrigeration at 55 degrees, and thawing it out for 1-1/2 hrs before opening the package.

I ordered for a July 2014 wedding and the expiration date for all of them is August of 2015. You should be fine ordering now or waiting.

I want to say roughly 2 years - putting it in the fridge after the first year will extend, but the quality is probably best if used the first year. Impossible doesn't put ex-dates on film in my experience.

If the film is kept in a cool place like a 'fridge, it should, like most films, last a while. NEVER put instant film in the freezer (35mm is okay, though). I buy film when it's cheap and then store it. And with the wild swings of this film, that's something I definitely do!
