A bar code forming method, which has the step of: forming the bar code which satisfies the following conditions, by transferring at least one portion of the transfer material onto the resin substrate by heating and pressing the transfer material onto the resin substrate, wherein, when the difference of the height between the concave portion formed on the resin substrate by the heating and pressing, and the convex portion protruding on the periphery of the concave portion, is h, and the distance between the top of the convex portion and the edge of the convex portion side of the concave portion, is d, and h is greater than or equal to 0.01 mm but less than or equal to 0.05 mm, and d is less than 0.1 mm.

Bar code forming method and APS film cartridge having bar code thereon

A film magazine forming apparatus forms a sheet having printing on a side thereof into an almost cylindrical shape. The film magazine formed into the almost cylindrical shape has separated lip portions for enabling a film to mvoe therethrough. The lip portions have a soft yarn mounted thereon. Transport apparatus transports the sheet to forming means including a core mold, an upper mold, and first and second side molds which form the sheet into an almost cylindrical shape with the printing on the side of the sheet forming an outer cylindrical surface of the almost cylindrical sheet. Transport apparatus transports the sheet with the printed side of the sheet being out of contact with the transport apparatus to prevent damage to the printing on the sheet. In addition, the core mold is used as a guide for transporting the almost cylindrical shape sheet to another operating position. A claw can be mounted on the core mold for transporting the thus formed almost cylindrical shape to another operational position.
