An edge number is a number printed on film for identification or information purposes. There are three types of edge numbering:

  • Latent image edge numbering - applied by the film manufacturer and visible only on processed film
  • Visible ink image edge numbering - applied by the film manufacturer and visible on raw stock and processed film
  • Laboratory image edge numbering - applied by the laboratory after film processing.

Edge number is also known as edge code, code number, footage number, negative number, ink number, key number or Key Kode,
