“Thick” 35mm Slides (special handling)

Some slide mounts are thicker than standard cardboard mounts. These cannot run through standard workflow, so we have to scan them in a special process one by one and that slows down our workflow. Slowing the workflow costs us money.

Costs for Thick Slides

Because thick slides need to be treated differently than normal, there is an additional $1.00 per thick thicker than normal 2" X 2" slide.
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.
