A photographic roll film such as Brownie film is placed on a backing paper or a leader paper. The roll film is joined at its one or both ends to the backing paper or leader paper with a jointing tape, which has on its surface a bar code composed of light absorbing bars and light reflecting spaces. The light absorbing bars show a reflectance of less than 30% and a glossiness of less than 20%, and the light reflecting spaces show a reflectance of more than 50% and a glossiness of less than 35%. Further, the total of the glossiness of light absorbing bars and the glossiness of light reflecting spaces is less than 50%. The reflectance and glossiness both are determined utilizing a light in a wavelength region other than a light sensitive wavelength region of the roll film.

Photographic roll film

A peel-apart type instant film unit comprising an image receiving sheet separably adhered in a heat sealing manner to a mask member which is peeled apart from the former after the development thereof. There is provided therebetween a weak sealing layer comprising an adhesive layer of a thermoplastic polymer having hydrophilic groups and a separating layer which is alkali resistant and has a good separation property relative to the adhesive layer. The weak sealing layer can provide an easy separation between the separating and adhesive layers so as perfectly to transfer the adhesive layer to the image receiving sheet to provide a fine appearance and a writeable image frame on the image receiving sheet. The mask member is made of any polyethylene compounded paper sheets and is provided with a processing liquid-resisting layer inside the weak sealing layer for the purpose of preventing the permeation of processing liquid thereto.
