Readyload is a single sheet film packet from Kodak. The Fuji
equivalent is called Quickload. Both Kodak and Fuji make dedicated
film holders for their packet systems. Both Kodak and Fuji packets
work in the Polaroid 545 series of film holders. Neither Kodak or
Fuji packets work in the other's holder.

Each cardboard packet has a single sheet of film. Packets are loaded
and unloaded in daylight. A single holder and film packets weights
less and takes up less space than the equivalent number of cut film
holders.

There is an article detailing the various film holder choices in the
free section of View Camera's web site.
