Container for photographic films and prints

摘要

A deformable container for sections of developed photographic roll films and for prints of images on such film sections has a square or rectangular base sheet of paper, cardboard or the like and a cover sheet of paper or synthetic plastic material. The sheets overlie each other and are bonded to one another along three marginal sections and a median section to define a narrower film compartment and a wider print compartment. Both compartments are open at those ends which face the fourth marginal sections of the sheets. One or more fold lines are provided between the two compartments to allow for folding of one compartment over the other compartment. Several containers form a strip of coherent containers, and the containers of the strip can be formed with one or more rows of perforations to facilitate automatic transport in a photographic processing laboratory wherein the film sections and the prints are introduced into the respective compartments by automatic equipment. The open ends of compartments can face a marginal portion of the base sheet or the closed ends of compartments of the adjacent container. Slots or similar markers are provided adjacent to partitions between the compartments. Such markers serve to allow for stoppage of the strip when the compartments of a container are ready to receive film sections and prints, and/or to initiate separation of the foremost container from the next-following container of the strip.
