2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an index print having an index print portion for displaying at least two or more frame images of a plurality of frame images recorded in a photographic document for one order side by side is provided with a photographic document for the order. It has been made to create a photographic product packed in a photographic bag on which information such as the delivery destination information of the order and the fee information corresponding to the processing is displayed together with the photographic print.

Then, the photo bag displaying the delivery destination information of the order and the charge information corresponding to the processing is the photo bag used at the time of ordering, and the delivery address information of the order and the charge information corresponding to the processing. It was created by printing such as, or attaching a sticker on which information such as the delivery destination information of the order and the fee corresponding to the processing is printed.

[0004]

However, the photo bag used at the time of ordering a certain order is printed with the delivery destination information of the relevant order, the charge information corresponding to the processing, or the delivery destination information of the relevant order. To attach a sticker that prints information such as the fee corresponding to the processing, print the photo bag used when ordering the order, the delivery destination information of the order and the fee information corresponding to the processing, or It is necessary to correspond with the sticker on which the information about the delivery destination of the order and the fee information corresponding to the processing are printed.

At the same time, the photo print of the order, the photo original, the index print of the order, the photo bag used at the time of ordering, the delivery destination information of the order, and the charge information corresponding to the processing are printed and the print information is displayed. It is necessary to correlate with the delivery destination information of the order and the sticker on which the fee information corresponding to the processing is printed. However, since it is necessary to associate many items for each order in this way, it has become difficult to take action.

[0006] Therefore, a container such as a negative sheet or a cartridge for storing photographic originals displays delivery destination information of the order and fee information corresponding to the processing, and the delivery destination information of the order and processing fee corresponding to the processing. I thought about omitting the sticker printed with information such as the information on the order or the information about the delivery destination of the order and the fee information corresponding to the processing, but the visibility of the container deteriorates, and in the case of a negative sheet, it may go inside. There is a problem that it becomes difficult to see the negatives that are present, and in the case of a cartridge, the data displayed on the surface of the cartridge becomes difficult to read.

[0007] Further, by displaying the delivery destination information of the order and the fee information corresponding to the processing on the photographic print, the delivery destination information of the order and the fee information corresponding to the processing are printed or the delivery of the order is performed. I thought about omitting the sticker that printed the destination information and the fee information corresponding to the processing, but the photographic print has various sizes in the width direction and the vertical direction, It is difficult to display delivery destination information and fee information for processing, it is difficult to display a sufficient amount of information when displaying the size of the photo print at the minimum size, and gaps occur for large size photo prints. There is a problem that the display tends to be displayed, and that the display adapted to the large size of the photo print cannot be displayed with the small size of the photo print.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the visibility of the container is deteriorated, and the delivery destination information of the order and the charge information corresponding to the processing are displayed at a predetermined position. Easy to display a sufficient amount of information,
The purpose is to reduce the time and effort to deal with items related to the same order.
