A system for producing a lens-fitted photo film unit with an unexposed photographic film preloaded comprising:
- a lens-fitted photo film unit body comprising a letter or a mark positioned on an exterior surface of said lens-fitted photo film unit body;
- a first alternative supplement cover having a size and shape so that the first alternative supplement cover can be secured to the exterior surface of said lens-fitted photo film unit body so as to cover said letter or said mark;
- and
- a second alternative supplement cover having a size and shape so that the second alternative supplement cover can be secured to the exterior surface of said lens-fitted photo film unit body so as to cover said letter or said mark;
- wherein the first alternative supplement cover is sufficiently translucent so that the letter or mark on the exterior surface of the lens-fitted photo film unit body is observable through the first alternative supplement cover when the first alternative supplement cover is secured to the lens-fitted photo film unit body;
- and
- wherein the second alternative supplement cover is opaque so that the letter or mark is not visible if the second alternative supplement cover is secured to the exterior surface of the lens-fitted photo film unit body.
A lens-fitted photo film unit with an unexposed photographic film preloaded comprising:
- a letter or a mark formed in said lens-fitted photo film unit, said letter or said mark being observable from outside;
- a supplement cover attached to an outer surface of said lens-fitted photo film unit so as to cover said letter or said mark;
- and
- a hollow part formed in said outer surface of said lens-fitted photo film unit, said letter or said mark formed in said hollow part, and said supplement cover being fitted to said hollow part.
A manufacturing method of a lens-fitted photo film unit, said lens-fitted photo film unit having a unit body with an unexposed photographic film preloaded, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a lens-fitted photo film unit body having a letter or a mark arranged on an exterior surface of said unit body so as to be observable from outside;
- providing a first alternative supplement cover having a size and shape so that the first alternative supplement cover can be secured to the exterior surface of said lens-fitted photo film unit body so as to cover said letter or said mark;
- providing a second alternative supplement cover having a size and shape so that the second alternative supplement cover can be secured to the exterior surface of said lens-fitted photo film unit body so as to cover said letter or said mark;
- and
- attaching one of the first and second alternative supplement covers to said unit body;
- wherein the first alternative supplement cover is sufficiently translucent so that the letter or mark on the exterior surface of the lens-fitted photo film unit body is observable through the first alternative supplement cover if the first alternative supplement cover is secured to the lens-fitted photo film unit body;
- and
- wherein the second alternative supplement cover is opaque so that the letter or mark is not visible if the second alternative supplement cover is secured to the exterior surface of the lens-fitted photo film unit body.
A manufacturing method of a lens-fitted photo film unit, said lens-fitted photo film unit having a unit body with an unexposed photographic film preloaded, said method comprising the steps of:
- forming a letter or a mark on said unit body so as to be observable from outside;
- and
- attaching either a transparent supplement cover or an opaque supplement cover to said unit body, said letter or said mark being visible through said transparent supplement cover, and said letter or said mark being invisible through said opaque supplement cover, said opaque supplement cover having another letter or mark formed outside thereof;
- wherein said letter or mark is formed in a hollow part of said unit body, and said transparent supplement cover or said opaque supplement cover is fitted in said hollow part.
A manufacturing method of a lens-fitted photo film unit, said lens-fitted photo film unit having a unit body with an unexposed photographic film preloaded, said method comprising the steps of:
- forming a letter or a mark on said unit body so as to be observable from outside;
- and
- attaching either a first outer label or a second outer label to said unit body, said first outer label having an opening that exposes said letter or said mark so as to be visible, said second outer label covers said letter or said mark so as to be invisible.
