In the present invention, a portion of the outer surface of a wrapper of film unit with lens is previously constructed in a manner capable of being peeled therefrom. When the portion of the surface is removed, such as a photographic objective and a finder of the film unit with lens are exposed. Thus, photographing is possible in the state where the film unit with lens is covered with the wrapper, thereby the wrapping is efficiently used. In the present invention, peeling portion capable of being peeled may also be provided continuously through the front surface, the upper surface and the rear surface of the wrapper. When such peeling portion is peeled, the front surface of the peeling portion may be bent from the wrapper at a folding line, whereby a projecting piece may be inserted into between the peeling surface and a plane at the rear surface thereof. Thus, the peeling portion is not separated at the time of photographing and, after photographing, it may be easily pasted to its original state to be used as a protection cover thereof if an unexposed film still remains.
A photographic film unit comprising a body containing unexposed photographic film, said body having a horizontal length and a vertical height and a horizontal depth that extends from front to rear of said body, said length being greater than either said height or said depth, a taking lens in the body for exposing the photographic film, a viewfinder to determine the field of view of the photographic film unit, a shutter release button in said body for causing an exposure of the photographic film through said taking lens, a wrapper within which said body is enclosed, said wrapper having a portion covering at least a part of said body of the film unit, said portion being adapted to be peeled away from a remaining portion of said wrapper by which said body remains partially enclosed after said peelable portion is peeled away, said peelable portion when peeled away exposing said taking lens and said viewfinder and said shutter release button, and said wrapper extending endwise beyond the body in prolongation of said horizontal length and having walls thereof sealed together, and a hole passing through said sealed-together walls for hanging said unit at a point of sale, said walls being sealed together entirely about said hole.
