Abstract
A lens-fitted photographic film package, some of whose parts are designed to be directly reused. A projection is formed integrally with a molded resin part of the package body which is to be reused. The projection is brought into contact with another part of the film package and elastically deformed by that part when assembled into the package body. If the molded resin part is in normal condition suitable for reuse, the projection elastically recovers its initial shape when the parts are disassembled. Whether the predetermined parts of the package body can be directly reused or not is determined by detecting heat distortion of the projection. A referential projection, which is never distorted and so maintains its initial shape, is formed beside the elastically deformed projection.
