What is the expiration date on this film? Are there any guarantees as to the quality of the film?

The film was officially discontinued by Polaroid in 2012. Polaroid absolutely does not guarantee outdated film since they no longer sell it and the fact that someone will sell an outdated product that is unlikely to work, at an exorbitant price tells you about their integrity.

I just purchased the commecial sized package and the expiration appears to be about one year after manufacture. I'm confident it will last longer, but it does have some fat in it that will eventually go rancid, so I'm equally sure it will eventually spoil.

You should be asking "do I want to spend almost $6.00 PER PRINT on film that expired 3 or more years ago??

Thank you so very much, although I already knew about refrigeration at 55 degrees, and thawing it out for 1-1/2 hrs before opening the package. My question was addressed to the seller to try to find out what expiration date was on the boxes he is selling. Again, many thanks for your response anyway.By the way, the shelf life under refrigeration from the point of manufacture (i.e. "professional" grade film) is 4 to 5 years, assuming you didn't receive the film already expired. The composition of the film doesn't actually break down, either. The film speed of the film starts to decrease. For example, expired ISO 160 film could still be shot at ISO 100 with satisfactory results.Michael Babineaux, New Iberia, LA Thank you so very much, although I already knew about refrigeration at 55 degrees, and thawing it out for 1-1/2 hrs before opening the package.

I want to say roughly 2 years - putting it in the fridge after the first year will extend, but the quality is probably best if used the first year. Impossible doesn't put ex-dates on film in my experience.

I don't think Poloroid film is being made any more. The only Polaroid film available, is expired. Isn't this true?

I spent way way WAY over $54.30 and the expiration date was 2009. They refused to refund the money. In all fairness, it was not Elizabeth Lee that sold the film to me. The factory went out of business in 2006. You have to ask WHY they are still selling film that is obviously expired. If you've opened the film, good luck with the refund. I was able to get my refund only after Amazon went to bat for me and I'm almost positive they refunded the money not the seller.

The expiration date is on the box, and is usually pretty far out. A box of these tears will only last me a month, so there is no danger for me of them being past the expiration date.

the film i bought like that was outdated, so i returned it. i think if you are willing to pay that much for a trip back in time, they should make sure its not expired!

I don't see expiration date, but I do see the packaging has copyright ©2012. I can tell you when it runs out if you want.

All I know the box says not to expose to extreme heat. It may have be damaged unless the package was insulated. Try a roll and see what happens. I keep my film in the fridge.

Film is always sensitive to heat, and must be kept in a fridge for storage. I don't think that it got ruined for a couple of hours. Just store it in the fridge (NOT FREEZER) and you should be just fine.

I just took a roll out of the freezer and it has an expiration date of 06/2016. I bought it May, so I would say at least two years, probably longer. If you freeze it, it should last forever. You are doubtless aware that Tri-X is still made by Kodak. It's so inexpensive that there is no point in buying expired film. Just get it new. Cheers.

http://www.c-lineproducts.com/qp424-35mm-storage-photo.html description doesn't specify archival quality. Have noted no deterioration of photos in 2 years but certainly that may not be indicative

Although I do not work for Fujifilm - i have used this film extensively. I buy the large pack of film about every year. I keep mine in a dark place (in a drawer). The film works great a year after I buy it. The benefit with using this whole 'system' is that the Fujifilm is NEW! It's less than a year old. Whereas if you bought an original 'polaroid' brand camera and you were LUCKY enough to find film for it - it would have been made in the 1980's. (yeah that old!) After 20 years - unused film can go bad. Fujifilm used in this system is NEW (1 year old or less) It will be fine!
