The top panel (20) being pivotally mounted on the floor panel (1) at one end of the cassette and being held in contact with the floor panel by a resilient band (30) which surrounds the cassette so that the other end of the cassette can be opened to allow a sheet of photographic material to be inserted into the cassette or removed therefrom by inverting the cassette. There being present light-sealing means along both sides of the cassette and there being present light-sealing but liquid permeable means (23, 3) at both ends of the cassette.
