Arista EDU ULTRA 100 Made in Canada?

[MattKing]

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.

The "made in" words don't really accurately reference the source locations of the component parts of things that are assembled.
That is why we are seeing a fair amount of labelling now which says something like "made in Canada from components sourced in Canada and internationally".
At the risk of wandering into politics - don't go there! - where would you say cars are made when parts for them come from sources from all around the world, and where many of the sub-assemblies are assembled in Canada, but final assembly takes place in Detroit?

Hi there,

Sorry if the question has already been posted but I just received cartridges of 35mm Arista EDU ULTRA 100 film and it is written "Made in Canada" on the tag. There is no box, so there is no notice and no development times... Pretty basic, so I have a couple of questions for you:

1) As Freestyle is not a film manufacturer, who did it in Canada?
2) Do you have some guidance to share on development time with D76 1+1?

Thanks a bunch!

If this film is indeed Arista Ultra 100, I believe the MDC gives a development time of 10 minutes, D76 1 + 1 at 20 C.
