To accurately combine a 1st and a 2nd article which correspond to each other by detecting the tray which contains the 1st article having identification information corresponding to 2nd article identification information out of trays and combining the 1st article with the corresponding 2nd article.
A partition plate P is moved by one step and a bag is stored in a tray T1 at the storage position of the 1st article. A film which is already developed is set on a table 41. Its developed film identification information is read. When there is a bag having identification information corresponding to the developed film, the tray T1 containing the bag is detected and the partition plate P1 of the tray T1 is moved to a horizontal position as a storage position take-out position 36. Here, a developed film corresponding to the developed film (bag) is put in the bag manually. Then other developed films are similarly processed. Thus, all the developed films are put in specific bags respectively to complete the process.
