Postal Service Announces That It Continues To Be Safe To Mail Film And
Photographs
November 8, 2001 - The United States Postal Service has today announced that
it continues to be safe to send film and photographic products through the
U.S. mail. The announcement reassures both the public and the photographic
industry that the USPS continues to take steps to insure the safe handling
and delivery of all film and photographic products.
The announcement on the USPS website states that "The USPS is working with
the mailing industry to develop procedures to ensure that sanitization of the
mail will not damage sensitive items in the mail. Sanitization technology is
currently being tested on a wide range of film products, digital and magnetic
storage devices, laboratory samples, food and plant products, and "smart"
credit card with embedded chips to ensure that all business mail can be
safely processed through the postal system."
