Film Packs were basic forms of storage meant to be used shortly after purchasing as their [mostly] paper packaging did not keep out oxygen well and had a tendency to fog over time, rendering the film unusable in the long term. It was replaced by the more stable Verichrome Pan in the 1950s.

- Description
- Plain cardboard box of 3 1/4 x 5 1/3[?] Kodak Dry Mounting Tissue held closed with a long strip of paper adhesive wrapped over the lid to the bottom of the box and a paper adhesive label on the lid displaying the manufacturer and direction of use details. Dry Mounting Tissues were a kind of adhesive used to attach a print to a support or mount [like card stock, cardboard, wood, foam core, etc] that is activated by heat and pressure. A smooth piece of paper would be laid over the print, with the tissue between the print and the support, and then a hot iron would be pressed over the whole area, melting the tissue and activating the glue. Once cool, the glue was set.
