Each shipper held 2 6000' reels. We urgently need some for the 3-D Expo. Anybody? thanks, Jeff  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-04-2006 12:17 PM                        You might check with Warner Bros., New Line, or ETS, as they were the ones using ELRs.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-07-2006 01:31 AM                        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.  |  IP: Logged Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-07-2006 04:21 AM                     Cinemecannica do hexagon shape 6,000 feet single or double reel transit cases. www.soundassociates.co.uk Open Supplies then Film Transport page for picture and details of Kinobox. There must be Cinemecannica dealers in the States that could supply same.

They called ETS and they said they no longer have them. Because no one uses them so they got rid of them.  |  IP: Logged
