The D number is often invisible from outside the case,
Therefore, it takes time and effort to find a photographic film cartridge corresponding to the developed film from a plurality of photographic film cartridges stored in the case, for example, after a developing process of an undeveloped film. There is.

In photographic films for APS,
Since the photographic film contained in the photographic film cartridge can be printed while being pulled out from the cartridge to the exposure unit, the photographic film cartridge can be set in a photographic printing apparatus while the film is contained in the photographic film cartridge. However, there is also a problem that the cartridges are set in a wrong order, the order of printing is changed, and the workability is deteriorated.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above circumstances. It is an object of the present invention to arrange and store photographic film cartridges in a state where an identifier such as an ID number written on the outer surface thereof can always be confirmed. An object of the present invention is to provide a holder for organizing photographic film cartridges.
