Overview

The Polaroid Color Instant Film i-Type Double Pack delivers 16 exposures of Polaroid's classic color instant film, split across two eight-shot cartridges. Designed exclusively for Polaroid's i-Type camera lineup — including the Polaroid Now, Now+, and other current models — this film produces the iconic white-bordered prints with rich, warm color tones that have defined instant photography for decades. Each frame develops in approximately 15 minutes, with the best results achieved by shielding the ejected print from light during the development process.

This bundle goes beyond just film by including a black photo album with space for 32 Polaroid-size prints and a front cover pocket for displaying a favorite shot. It's a practical pairing for anyone building a physical collection of memories or looking for a ready-made gift. As with all Polaroid instant film, proper storage matters — keeping unused packs in the refrigerator (never the freezer) preserves the chemical layers and ensures consistent color and exposure when you're ready to shoot. The double pack format offers a meaningful saving per frame over buying individual cartridges, making it the sensible choice for regular shooters.

Key Features

SHOOT WITH THE LIGHT - Whether you’re using natural sunlight or a studio set-up, always shoot with the light behind you, or to your side. If you face the camera into the light, your photos can end up dark and blown out. We also recommend to always use the flash to get great results — even if it’s a sunny day.

KEEP YOUR MEMORIES IN YOUR POCKET AT ALL TIMES - The album holds 32 five inch photos . It also features a pocket on the cover of the album so that you can display your favorite photo.

STORE CHILLED - Temperature affects how the film works so keep it stored chilled in the fridge, do not freeze.

DEVELOP IN THE DARK - You need light to get the best photograph, but you need darkness to let it work its magic. When you take a photograph, thousands of chemical reactions take place within that small film frame. To get the best result, let your photograph develop face down in a warm area that’s shielded from light.

SMILE GUARANTEED – This will make the perfect gift for any Holiday, Birthday or any other occasion for you or a loved one. Putting smiles on faces of all ages creating the perfect gifting experience.
