Abstract
Abstract A package for the easy access storage of items, such as precut strips of embossing tape, that are desirably removed from storage one or a few at a time. The base of the package includes an access member which is in part wider and in part narrower than the items being stored and extends in the direction of their length. When the access member is removed, correspondingly wide and narrow access openings are produced which both permit and constrain the items to being slidably removed from storage.
