ABSTRACT:
A process for collating photographic film with prints made therefrom. During a reception process of a photofinishing order, data indicative of a customer's ID number recorded on an envelope is recorded in a magnetic recording layer of a photographic film. During a printing process, the customer's ID number is read out from the magnetic recording layer, and is recorded on the rear of a corresponding photographic print. The customer's ID number on the photographic film read out from the magnetic recording layer is displayed on a display device, or is recorded in the form of manually readable symbols onto the photographic film or a cassette. In collating, the three customer's ID numbers are compared with one another, so as to judge the correspondence between the envelope and the photographic film and a set of photographic prints. If they correctly correspond to one another, the photographic film and the photographic print set are packed in the envelope. For automatic collation, the customer's ID number is recorded as a bar code on the envelope and the photographic prints.
