How to Order

In this section, we briefly explain how to write (or phone) an order so you can get the film you need to begin or continue production on schedule. After you place an order with a Kodak company or distributor in your country, they’ll arrange for all the other particulars of your order, such as product availability, terms of payment, applicable taxes, transportation, and returns.

The Catalog Number (CAT No.)

This number is perhaps the most important piece of information to know when you want to buy film from Kodak. In brief, the CAT No. describes a particular kind of film, the size, length, perforation, pitch, and other format information to our Customer Relations Representatives. For example, the CAT No. for 100 ft (30 m) of EASTMAN EXR 100T Film 5248 (35 mm), BH-1886 (4740) perforation type, with a film identifica- tion number of EXM417, on a spool is 170 0434. That seven-digit CAT No. describes only one film package.

To get your order as quickly as possible, give us the correct CAT No. listed in your Kodak price catalog. That simple seven-digit number is the key to your film order— all additional related numbers and descriptions verify the CAT No. and rule out the possibility that the number was recorded incorrectly. Once the CAT No. is written in our order sheet, we know the exact film you need, the length of one roll, the specific core or spool, the perforation pitch, the price, and a multitude of other important details.
