“If you know me, you know I love things that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Inspired by an old Kodak label and tips from Tim Ryugo, I designed my own version. I didn’t expect anything of it, but it’s now become a little side business!”
Flying with film can be tricky since we have to ask busy and sometimes intimidating security agents to do extra work. Many people still don’t know about film and how X-rays can damage it. Sissi’s solution was to print an appealing label that clearly explained in the local language what’s inside and why it can’t go through the scanner:
“Asking for a hand check at airport security can feel overwhelming—for both travellers and agents—so I wanted to make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible.
To my surprise, the pouch and its design were actually really respected by the agents. It made travelling with film feel a lot more ‘official,’ and it took the pressure off having to explain myself at every checkpoint.”
