To enable writing of information for an RFID tag so that mismatching does not occur between information to be written in an RFID chip and image information capable of being visually recognized by a human which is to be printed on the RFID tag.
From a database 1 of articles to be sent, a print image producing sub-system 2 reads out receiver information, client information, physical distribution information and article information. From these information produced are image information capable of being visually recognized by a human and image information of a code readable by an optical reading means, and these image information are transferred to the RFID tag by a printer 3. Then, the code information transferred to the RFID tag is read by an optical code-reading apparatus 4. Data to be written in the RFID chip 25 is produced from the code information in an RFID writing data-producing sub-system 5, and the produced data are written in the RFID chip 25 by an RFID writing apparatus 6.
