[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At a photo shop, undeveloped film received from a customer is stored in a patrone in a film storage bag (hereinafter referred to as a DP bag). The DP bag has an agent, a print quantity, a print size, and a customer number. And other necessary data, and these are collected at the lab. When developing the collected film, the undeveloped photographed film is taken out of the DP bag, and a twin check label having a serial number printed in advance is attached to the DP bag and the photographed film.

[0003] The DP bags are then stocked in a DP bag stacking device, and the film is spliced by a splicer with other films, and then processed separately, such as being developed.

[0004]

In the conventional method for processing a DP bag and a film described above, processing is performed using a twin check label as a mark at the time of film splicing or the like. The numbers are simply printed in order, and the numbers themselves have no specific meaning.

For this reason, it is necessary to find out the DP bag based on the number of the twin check label in order to know the printing and sorting work in the laboratory based on the data of the above-mentioned agency and the like as the processing contents of the film.
