Default Reloadable 35mm film cassettes and cannisters

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for reloadable 35mm film (non DX-coded) cassettes - say around 50 units. The cheapest I could find are from Freestyles (US). Do you know any other sources? I prefer the plastic ones.

I like the film canisters that comes with Ilford 35mm film. They have this non-glossy feature, thus making it more scratch proof. Do you know anyone selling these?

Ilford make their own cassettes with a machine they bought when their external supplier disappeared. We had it shown to us on the factory tour in 2013.

They do also make cassettes for other film suppliers, but I'm not sure if they make any reloadables. You could email Harman and ask, you never know.

I reload any used film cassettes I can get my hands on, I tend to use them several times before throwing them away. The only thing that can fail is the felt, it can trap dust or it can get compressed and not make an effective light seal.
