This is another cynical marketing ploy to move traffic film into the
photographic market.  This film has been available as Maco Cube 400 for some
time.  Traffic films have multiple layers of different sensitivities so they
can function at different effective speeds but they lack resolution compared
to the best 400 speed films and sharpness in comparison to the best
superspeed films.  They have extended red sensitivity because some
juristictions use infra-red flashes in red light and speed cameras.  Several
films designed for specialist purposes have been useful for photography -
High Speed Recording film and some of the copying films like Tech Pan and
Copex which Simon mentioned recently.  I like many quite weird films, but I
don't like traffic film, your opinions may well differ.

And yes, the wooden box *is* cute.
