Ok this might be a silly question but I cannot seem to find these anywhere; Where can I buy print/negative work envelopes? Like the ones you would get your negatives back in from a shop?
Something like this:
I haven't been able to find anything but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.
As Matt says, you typically got/get these envelopes at the lab you drop(ped) your film off for processing. We still have one major chain in our country that has these envelopes - ir they did last time I used them a few years ago. Some people would take home a small stack of these so they could prepare them at home and drop them off at the lab.
They're not the kind of item you typically buy as a consumer.
My photography society is doing a fair bit of processing for people—running like a mini lab— and I was thinking it would be helpful to have work envelopes.
I do actually have a distributor that sells one version, but I'm not a huge fan of their design, so I'm looking for alternatives.
Ah, I see. Sounds nice
Have you considered making your own design and contacting a local printer (or an online service) to have it printed onto envelopes? For small volumes you could even use a laserprinter, but I consider that mostly suitable up to maybe 50 pcs or so. Beyond that, I'd just contract it out. There's usually lots of places that offer stationary printing services, often at quite competitive prices, too.
