  • Instant processing sleeve
    Patent number: 4294906
    Abstract: A photographic processing sleeve is provided for receiving and processing a dye donating instant film sheet to produce a photographic print. The sleeve comprises a film retaining sheet that is folded over along its lateral edges to form channels which slidably receive the film sheet, and edge strips, sometimes called side rails, which space the film sheet from the image-receiving sheet. After processing, at least a major portion of the image-receiving sheet, including the finished picture, is adapted to be peeled apart from the rest of the sleeve which can then be discarded.
