Ilford is celebrating 145 years of film photography history with a limited edition run of HP5 Plus and FP4 Plus retro-inspired film packaging in 35mm and 120mm formats.

To commemorate its 145-year history of producing black and white films, papers, and chemicals from its Cheshire location, Ilford is launching a limited-edition range of 1950s and 1960s-inspired retro packaging for its HP5 Plus and FP4 Plus films in 35mm and 120 formats.

“Film photographers are collectors by nature and have regularly requested we introduce limited edition packaging such as this. This is an exciting year for us as we have recently announced a £multi-million investment in our R&D and operational capabilities. As we celebrate 145 years since the original Ilford company was founded, we are excited to reference our legacy as we look to the future,” Giles Branthwaite, Sales and Marketing Director at Ilford, says.
