Photographic prints (40) and negatives (104) are stored in separate compartments (100, 102) of a box-shaped container (74). The container may be sub-divided by a separator (96) having a flap (98) inserted into cut-out (94) of frontwall (82). Fig. 5 shows an alternative container construction. Prior to storage in compartment (100), the prints are formed into a zig-zag chain using interconnecting adhesive strips (28, Figs 3 and 4). The adhesive strips are attached to the prints whilst arranged on a jig or mounting board (10, Fig. 1). The board (10) has central pins (18, 20) against which may be located two prints, one to each side of the pins, so as to be spaced apart by a standard distance. A clamp (14) holds the prints in place until these are joined by an adhesive strip. ……
