Does anyone know if there is an avenue for using prepaid 100' mailers? I have about fifteen of them that I'd like to be able to use.

Do they have an expiration date? I have used many ancient PK59 mailers without any problems cause they have no date on them.

Mine don't have an expirition date, I've just seen so many references to Dwayne's being the only gig in town that I was concerned that they no longer had any value.

If they are Kodak processing then I bet they will take them. Give one a try, send it to the Kodak address in Beltsville, MD. Like I said I have been using PK59 mailers from the 60's and 70's and they have always processed the film with no problems. I am sure glad I found 3 ten packs of mailers at a tag sale 4 years ago

No mine are for Super 8 or regular 8. I've never had any 16mm mailers to try. Should work the same.
