By its basic definition... A canister is a container that protects camera film from outside elements prior to its use. But the beauty of these dynamic miniature cylinders is that they can easily be used as a safe method of storing just about anything. No matter if it's the dark room, the science lab, the garage, or just about any drawer in your home, a canister is likely to be found. Houseables' polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic film and accessory canisters are high-impact, strong, and non-toxic. They are safe for storing camera film, small amounts of foods and liquids, medicine, and only about a million other perishable and nonperishable items. Another popular use for these things is for making Alka Seltzer rockets, which is fun for children of all ages who dream of one day colonizing Mars. Getting down to brass tax: Each canister is sized to hold 35mm film. The dimensions are 2" tall, 1" wide, and a 1.22" diameter. The opaque white exterior will not transmit light, while also withstanding a wide temperature range. This keeps the canister's contents status quo during harsh winters and sweltering summers. All you need to do is properly attach the lid and this compact, lightweight beauty will go virtually anywhere without the threat of leaking or spilling. This means you can go ahead and throw them into pockets, purses, bags, drawers and other compartments of all sizes. Our canisters are most excellent for carry-on luggage when you are flying and in need of a workaround for travel size restrictions.
