While we here may care most about where and by whom the master rolls of film are coated, the labelling and marketing and distribution issues are much more closely related to where those master rolls are turned into something that can actually be put up for retail sale for eventual loading into a camera.
Most of the retail cost of photographic film arises after the master roll stage.
Historically, the industry was more vertically integrated than it is now.

Skimming the thread, and reading the guidelines for something labeled as “made in Canada” in Post #18, I can def see the confusion.

The film is Foma, made In Czech Republic.

The Cartridges are made in China. No, Flic Film doesn’t make them, you can buy them in bulk from Reflx for like $0.6/pc. Probably cheaper if you order something like 10k from Alibaba like Flic Film would.

The film is packed by Flic Film in Canada. According to the guidelines above, it is technically OK to say ”made in Canada”, so long as 51% of what the end customer pays goes to the Canadian company… that seems extremely misleading, though, since none of the product itself is actually made in Canada.

MCB18, this exactly my feeling: Misleading.
