•Handling of Instax mini Film and Photos
For details on the handling of film and photos, see the instructions of FUJIFILM Instax mini instant film.

1. Keep film a cool place. In particular, do not leave a film in an extremely hot place, such as in a closed motor vehicle, for a long period of time.
2. Use film as soon as possible after inserting it into the camera.
3. If the film has been kept in a place where the temperature is extremely low or high, allow it to become accustomed to a normal temperature before taking pictures.
4.  Use film before the film expiration date referenced on the package.
5. Avoid airport checked luggage inspection and other strong X-ray exposure. The unused film is susceptible to the effect of fogging, etc. We recommend that you carry film onto aircraft in carry-on luggage (check with the relevant airport for more information).

If the paste comes into contact with the eyes or mouth, wash the area and then seek medical attention.

FAQS

Film is sold separately but you can find some pretty awesome package deals for multiple boxes of film here on amazon as well.

Hope this helps!
