What is the expiration date on the box?

I've always considered it to be the date when the chemicals start to break down on the film. Of course with film, if it has been kept at lower temperatures such as in a refrigerator, the longer it should last, but I've never seen a chart as to how much longer. Really, it's a chance we all take when buying products with a shelf life out of date. This is such a great film, I would probably buy it if it has just run out....and put it in a refrigerator.

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.

The expiration date on the box I purchased is Dec2015,so it is usually a year before it goes bad.

No expiration date listed on the box, but if you don't open packaging until ready to use should not be an issue.

The expiration date is on the bottom of the box. The numbers are in this order: Day . Month . Year. For example my box says 31.10.16. So the expiration date is 10/31/16.

Sorry, the box was thrown away. If I remembered right, it expires by the end of 2015.

The box I bought about six months ago had an expiration date of 8/2014. That of course doesn't mean that a box you buy today would have the same expiration date.

The box I have doesn't appear to have an expiration date, but the individual packages have a date printed on the bottom of the wrapper. The box I bought in 2013 has an 8 2016 stamped along tge bottom edge. Hope this helps.

I couldn't find the expiration date written on the container anywhere and I threw out the box. Sorry I can't help.
