Color Instant Film for i-Type, Double Pack (16 Exposures)

Polaroid Color Film for i-Type (16 Exposures, Double Pack) — enough film to actually run an instant-photo side gig at an event

The gist: A 16-shot double pack that gives an instant-photography side hustle enough volume for a real event — a birthday, market stall, or small business launch — instead of running dry after eight shots.

• Two 8-shot cartridges: One pack for the event, one held in reserve, which matters when a booth or table can't easily pause mid-event to restock.
• No printer or app required: Every shot self-develops on the spot, keeping a side-gig setup down to just a camera and film.
• Compatible with modern Polaroid cameras: Works with the Now, Now+, and I-2, so the equipment list stays simple and inexpensive to start.
• Better cost-per-unit than buying singles twice: Bundling 16 exposures in one purchase avoids repeat shipping/purchase overhead versus buying two single packs separately.

TechGearLab's testing put real-world waste at close to 50% of shots — "close to half of the shots we took ended up getting thrown out due to blurriness or a lack of color contrast" — a number worth building into per-guest pricing for anyone charging for instant photos at an event.

Best for: a side hustle or small event that needs more than a handful of instant prints in one sitting. Skip it if: you're only testing the idea once — the single 8-exposure pack is the lower-commitment way to try it first. Runs ~$29.75 — check the current price before buying.
