828 film was Kodak's unperforated 35mm paper-backed roll film, introduced in 1935. The image size of standard 35mm film was considered "miniature" in the 1930s; but by eliminating the sprocket holes (a vestige of 35mm film's movie origins) Kodak could increase 828's image area by 30% (to 28x40mm). A smaller diameter spool allowed for smaller camera designs as well. Kodak's Bantam camera series used 828 film, and so the size is often known by the "Bantam" name.
Other paper-backed 35mm film formats have included Bolta and the film Konishiroku produced for the Konilette.
