I cleaned up my old box of negatives
Excellent product. I recommend it. If you're trying to use standard 7-clip sleeves like they give you at the photo shop, they won't fit on a light table like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y21WQYQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1. This one will fit. I've recently archived about 100 rolls of film, and used these sleeves to assist. I plop the negatives on a light table, shoot a picture of them with my camera mounted on a tripod and pointed down, then flip the colors using Adobe Lightroom. I had to use about 2 1/2 stops more exposure than my Canon 70d wanted, but that was easy to fix. It took about 20 seconds per roll once I got the negs loaded in the sleeves. I should also say that I bought a piece of glass from my hardware store (about $5 for a 10" x 13" piece) to flatten the negatives.
Now, I have a contact-sheet index for all the film I've ever shot, and if I want a real copy of the picture, I know exactly which negative to scan. Yes, I'll still have to scan them at 2400x2400, using an actual negative scanner (mine's an Epson). But now it's not just a whole bunch of celluloid in a box.

Great for organizing your negatives
I got a pack of these to store my 35mm photograph negatives taken at music concerts from the last 40 years. All my negatives were in a cardboard box still in the packaging the original developer used. These concert negs were just a fraction of all mine. This product was just what I needed to store and index my concert negatives. I knocked them out and decided to start on all my other photographs I took over the years. I will be ordering some more soon.

Longtime standard for film storage
I’ve used these holders successfully for decades. Appreciate the alternative strip sizes available, as I have some 35mm rolls that had been cut into 4s, 5s, or 6s. Only a couple have shown adhesion of film to holder, and those might have been caused by high temperature and humidity during storage. In my current project of digitizing old negs, these have been extremely handy for making digital contact sheets. While they are very thin, I’ve had none for which attachment holes have torn.

PrintFile brand is the gold standard for Film Negative storage.
Before they were available on Amazon, I purchased these in the past from a local camera store. PrintFile brand sleeves are such a great product for film storage; they're great quality and don't peel apart (like cheaper options do)... and I suppose it says something that I continue to buy their products to this day.
If you're any level of film photographer, I recommend these negative sleeves to store your work... you never know when you'll need to look at it again, and it helps to store everything flat.

THESE ARE FOR NEGATIVES CUT INTO 5-FRAME STRIPS
GREAT product. 7b4 is for negatives cut into 4-frame incremental strips, as is usually the case. This product works just as well, but for 5-frame incremental strips.
They fit into standard U.S. 3 ring binder for 8.5X11.
Great product.

Tastes great, less filling
I have several three-ring binders filled with these sleeves & thousands of negatives. Works well to organize and protect valuable negatives. Given the clarity of the plastic, I have also scanned "contact sheets" of every roll while the negatives are still in the sleeves. The only hangup - the plastic is very thin and will rip if you are not careful when inserting beginning-of-roll strips with taped-on segments (the gap between the negative strips catches on the plastic and cuts it pretty easily). But, I wouldn't want thick plastic, so this is just something to live with.

Excellent quality, mind the width
Good quality negative sleeves, but unless it's obvious to everybody except me, the pages are narrower than the 6-sleeve pages, so if your negative strips hold 6 images each, the page is too skinny. Of course if I'd looked at the picture, I'd have seen that clearly....Since I stretch my film to the limit, the 6-sleeve pages are too short when I go beyond 36 images; I have to double up the last two strips. Unfortunately, these didn't solve my problem since they're too narrow, but the quality is excellent.

Just right for Archiving!
This pack of 25 sheets each capable of holding up to 35 35mm film negatives turned out to be exactly what I needed to keep and preserve all my negatives in one clean, safe place. Until we bought this item, we had negatives unsorted and all over the place. Now, thanks to these sheets, everything is in one place! These sheets are in file pages that are well made and just the right size to be able to store safely in a file folder that is easily found. Very happy with this product.

Long time user of these - the best for archiving
If you want to safely save your negatives for long term storage, these are a necessity. Get a package and use them instead of cheap photo lab sleeves. They hold your negatives tightly so there's no chance they will accidentally slide out. I've used these since the old darkroom days before digital photography, and I'm glad they are still available. The fact that these sheets are truly clear helps make it easy to examine your negative or positive film with a light table or window light.

Exceptional Quality at a Great Price.
These are great negative storage sheets. If you print your own photographs in the darkroom, these are great for making quick contact sheets, so you never have to guess the contents of your film. Quality is exceptional, they are made of very nice plastic and have an area that you can label as well. The price from Amazon cannot be beat, and two days for shipping (Amazon Prime) is worth the wait, especially when the two photo stores in my area sell the exact same item for $15-$20.
My only problem (and I knew this going in) is that they only hold 35 negatives (7 rows of 5 negative strips). I knew that I would be keeping these in a binder for school purposes, and this size fits perfectly in a 3 ring binder. I thought about just keeping a separate storage sheet for all the single extra negatives, but its easier to just remember to only shoot 35 frames instead of 36.
Overall, extremely happy with the quality of these sheets, and I will absolutely purchase this brand again.
Question & Answer
Question :
The item states holds 7 strips of 4 frames but the details says it holds 5 frames and 7 strips for a total of 35 negatives. Which is correct?
Answer :
I've ordered both. THIS item in particular is the 7 strips of 4 frames. PrintFile item number 35-7B4. The product title is accurate, the description is not.
The traditional PrintFile sleeve, 35-7B, holds 7 strips of 5 frames, and can be found here:
Personally, I like the 7 strips of 4 frames, but that is only because my local lab cuts my negatives in strips of 4 frames. Otherwise the sleeves are identical in quality. The only issue is you cannot order the 4 frame sleeves in bulk. The 5 frame sleeves are available in a 100 pack on Amazon.
If you know exactly what you want, you are probably better off ordering from PrintFile directly. The pricing and options are better.
Regards.
Question :
Can the pages be folded in order to fit the negatives into a small box?
Answer :
Yes, it can be folded along the lines of the strip of the negatives.
Question :
Can someone confirm that each page is 11.5 x 9 inches? How thick will be 100 pages filled with negatives?
Answer :
Sheets are 7 1/2 x 11 with holes to fit 3 or 4 ring binder. My whole pack of 25 sheets is about 1/4" thick, empty, I'd estimate the negatives would double the thickness, so you'd need a 2" binder/album.
Question :
Where are you supposed to put your 36th exposure?
Answer :
Good Morning
This page style is designed to allow contact printing on an 8”x10” sheet of photo paper. To accommodate 36 frames, where contact printing is not the priority, we suggest the 35-6HB pages. They can still be used to make contact prints, but require an 8-1/2” x 11’ sheet of paper.
Have a good day!

The description says 7 rows of 4 frames each. The picture for quantity 1 matches that - but the pictures for quantities 2 and 3 show 7 rows by 5 frame
Answer :
All that I have bought have been 7 X 5. I have bought 1 and 2 quantities.
Question :
What are the dimensions of the negative insert slot? i need a 2.25 width.
Answer :
2.25" with is what's known as a medium format camera size.
Most film that size was 2.25 x 2.25 or 2.25 x 3.25. So in order to protect the film ( negative or positive ) you need a Archival Storage Sheets for that size.
Question :
How do you keep these pages together? In a binder, or flat in archival quality box?
Answer :
I keep mine in a three-ring binder, they fit great!
