5x4 DDS (film holders) storage

[Ian Grant]

Just a heads up for the "3 Litre Really Useful Box", from Really Useful Products, I have a few of these and they will hold up to a dozen DDS (film holders). The actual number depends on the make as they aren't all the same thickness. I use one to carry DDS in my backpack.

I have another for my 7x5 DDS for darkroom storage, and then various others from small to large, although British made they sell worldwide. I've used a lot of plastic storage boxes over the years and most gae go brittle, I've only just realised that I bought my first Really Useful Box around 15 years ago and no aging as good as new.

Shoot! Is there an American equivalent? I've been looking and everything is either way to big or a hair to small at big box stores, which is all I have access too.

A quick web search shows the Container Store carries some, but bigger. I am sure I have seen them in other places.

They have a US presence

You can buy online as well . . . . . .

Until posting this thread I hadn't realised I must have 30+ of their boxes, I store all my film 10x8, 7x5, 5x4 and 9x12 in one, my studio flash equipment in another.

In many ways I'm frustrated the stockist I've bought from only carry a few sizes, and until I really looked at their product sheet I hadn't realised the very extensive range they make.

Here in the UK I bought two sets of 7 boxes this week £20 ($25). Initial thoughts would be the smallest are too small but they are great for Memory card, or batteries.
