Remember those awful blue shippers that Warners briefly used for "Iron Giant"? Each shipper held 2 6000' reels.

We urgently need some for the 3-D Expo.

Anybody?

thanks,

Jeff

You might check with Warner Bros., New Line, or ETS, as they were the ones using ELRs.

Jeff, we had some good success shipping on 6000ft reels by using the cardboard shipping boxes that Goldberg used to ship their LP reels in. We got that very tough plastic shipping strap material. The strap material comes in spools and you wrap a strap across the height and one across the width of the box and fasten them with special fastners that pull the straps taught. It makes a very strong, shipping worthy package, if that is what you need it for. I think IESCO in Miami shipped us some 6000ft reels and they came in correctly sized cardboard boxes for the 6000ft reels as well. You might give them a shout.

Cinemecannica do hexagon shape 6,000 feet single or double reel transit cases.

Open Supplies then Film Transport page for picture and details of Kinobox.

There must be Cinemecannica dealers in the States that could supply same.

Someone ask about those ELR type reels a few years ago. They called ETS and they said they no longer have them. Because no one uses them so they got rid of them.
