Good online source for transparent roll film protectors

I develop my own film then I have it scanned and cut at a lab and put into print file negative holders. My lab gives me a good deal as long as I don't cut the film since they can just run the whole roll. I usually just throw the film into an 8x10 print file and tape it up, but I find this less than ideal. Does anyone know a good source for 35mm and 120mm rolls of continuos sleeves? BH seem to have something but it's 43.95 a roll, which is a little high for me. I've heard Uline sells something that may work but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks,
John

Be careful what you buy, some materials give off a gas that could be harmful to your film. Check with Print File (an APUG advertiser). I buy sleeves and folders from them and have never had a problem. Uline has poly tubing on page 140 of their current printed catalog - a 1000 foot roll for about the price you mentioned but I don't know how their material will react with film.

I was doing a fairly poor job searching on bh and found print file rolls for about 33.99, more than I wanted to spend but a necessary expense.

I ordered sheet film sleeves and gloves several times and been very happy with the quality and service.

Printfile sells continuous roll sleeves also...

Just received my two boxes of Printfile continuos rolls and they seem to be a great product. The box is any easy to use dispenser. 1,000 feet should last me a long time.

Huh? 100 feet is more than 10 rolls...

On surplus shed awhile back I saw what looked like a big bulk roll of clear protector. Something like 1000+ feet for $10
