Abstract
A lens-fitted photo film unit has a housing and a label, which is wound about the housing in a belt-shape, and at least partially adhered to the housing. To remove the label from the housing, the label is cut in a predetermined cutting direction crosswise to a winding direction of the label. First and second cut ends are formed on the label. The first cut end is pushed open away from the housing. After this, the first cut end is pulled away from the housing, so that the label is peeled from the housing.
