Want to Buy WTB: Ilford plastic film canisters with different colored caps

[js98367]

Hi All,

I load my own film using bulk rolls of Ilford HP5+, FP4+ and Pan F.

I would like to get some of the Ilford plastic film canisters with the green, blue, yellow and red caps to make it easier to sort out the film and quickly assess inventory in my camera bag.

Thanks,

John near Seattle.

Short of sourcing colored Ilford caps, any opposition to using colored sticker labels? Avery makes 3/4" diameter colored dots that you might be able to use on regular canisters:

How clever! That could be a solution. With Ilford caps, with color showing on the side, I could tell what I had without having to handle every one. Put stickers on the sides too, maybe. Would still prefer any colored caps that anyone would like to offer! Thanks for a McGyver-level solution.

I would still like to pick up the Ilford caps and their matching black canisters!

Could also try contacting Ilford directly? Seems like other members have had success with some unusual requests.
