See the Category: 126 film.
110 and 126 film cartridges were launched by Kodak in answer to consumer complaints about the complications involved with loading and unloading roll film cameras. With the cartridge film you don't have to attach the film leader to a take-up spool and cannot go wrong. Even if you open the camera with a half exposed film inside, the precious exposed film is well protected inside the cartridge. And at the end of the film, you don't have to rewind. The cartridge simply drops into the camera, you close the back, wind on and shoot.
The 126 cartridge contains 35mm unperforated film. The 126 cameras are also called Instamatic cameras, from the name of the first Kodak models taking it, the Instamatic series.
