“Thick” 35mm Slides (Hand-Scanning)

Some slide mounts are thicker than standard cardboard mounts. These cannot run through automated feeders, so we hand-scan them one by one to protect your film.

Costs for Thick Slides

Because thick slides must be hand-fed, there is an additional $1 per thick slide charge. Please note the number of “thick” slides on your order form so we can plan the workflow accurately.

Unsure whether your slides are thick? Compare them to a normal cardboard 35mm mount—the examples below will help.
