ABSTRACT:
A point of sale photographic film package also functions as a non-prepaid mailer to a pre-designated professional film processor. In one embodiment, a film cassette or cartridge is sold in a sealed container, such as an envelope or "bubble pack" card, having a removable label which overlies the name and address of a film processor. The label bears film-identifying indicia on one side thereof and a customer-identifying form on the reverse side. The container further includes (i) indicia or perforations for facilitating access to the film cassette while leaving the container substantially intact for re-use, and (ii) an adhesive strip for resealing the container after the original seal is broken to gain access to the film cassette therein. Upon opening the sealed container and using the film, the customer may have the film processed by returning the exposed film and the container together with the label bearing the completed customer identification form, which includes customer credit information. The container is then resealed and mailed to the processor identified on the container. According to a second embodiment, the film package comprises a sealed reversible pouch which, upon being opened by the customer and turned inside-out, is resealable. One side of the pouch is provided with customer-identifying indicia, while the other side has indicia identifying a professional film processor.
