Abstract
An assembly for delivery to a customer upon completion of a photo-finishing operation, comprised of a packet envelope which includes not only the film negatives and the finished prints of the latter, but also one or more cards bearing date strips detachably affixed thereto with pressure sensitive adhesive, wherefrom they may be stripped easily and affixed individually to each of the prints at the front or back thereof, as desired by the customer. Thus, each print may be dated conveniently despite the lack of clear margins on the prints for automatically printing the date in this area or on the backs of the prints.
