The present invention relates to a system and method of offering imaging service to a customer in which an adhesive label with encoded information thereon is affixed to digital image storage medium such as a memory card, and the encoded information is entered into a master database. The encoded information on the adhesive label is linked to the information in the master database and includes a significant amount of photofinishing customization and billing information for the customer. In a preferred feature of the present invention, default information could include customer billing information as well as a preferred type of photofinishing service that is to be done on images provided from the memory card having the label affixed thereon. Thus, every time a customer places the memory card into a reader at a photofinishing station such as a kiosk, the encoded information would be read by the reader and linked to the master database. With this arrangement, all necessarily billing and customization information would be added to the order without any operator or customer intervention.
