Hi all,
I’m searching for traditional white paper slide mounts for 35mm film. Remember these? The type with a 2x4" cardboard frame that folds over and seals using built-in heat-sensitive adhesive (aka "heat-seal mounts").
One specific model is the Pic RM10, but they seem to be out of business and I am open to anything similar. There are lots of plastic frames out there, but I need the paper version.
My partner and I are creating something new which incorporates these. Initially we’d like to get approximately 1000 pieces, but long term we’d like to secure a supply for large quantities (multiple thousands or even tens of thousands) over the coming years. I’ve contacted major suppliers (B&H, Freestyle Photo, Imaging Spectrum, Adorama, KEH, Midwest Photo, Samy’s, OmegaBrandess, WEX, etc.) and a few eBay sellers, but I’m coming up short.
I’m crossing my fingers that someone here might:
• Have a box or more hiding in a drawer or archive
• Know a retailer or distributor that might have legacy stock in a warehouse
• Maybe you even know someone at a company who manufactured these, and we can crank the old machine back up!
• Have any other ideas?
Any leads, dusty boxes, or suggestions are welcome. I’m happy to pay fairly, and cover shipping.
Thanks in advance!
