Keep the weekend alive with Same Day Mondays!
Same day turnaround on 35mm & 120 colour negative film, every Monday.
Orders must be placed before 4pm.

We’re processing film again!
After a few months relocating, Open Lab’s now at 25 Easey Street, Collingwood—just down the road from our old spot.
We’ve switched from self-service to a traditional drop-in model for now, just pop your rolls in the dropbox and your film will be processed in 2 business days.
Huge thanks to @paradisealleycollingwood for giving us a space to call home! Be sure to grab a drink while you’re here.
Head to our website for more info.
Today from 2-6pm is the last time our doors will be open at 7 Easey Street.
It’s been an emotional time wrapping up, but I’m super excited for this next chapter and feeling optimistic about what’s ahead.
Starting now, all new orders will have a 1-week turnaround as we transition to our new location—just around the corner!
HUGE thank you to the amazing community on Easey Street for having me and making this such a memorable chapter.
To Open Lab members and our wider community—I’ll be forever grateful for your support during these early years. Thank you ❤️
More details coming soon!
