Abstract
Abstract A package for retaining material wound in a figure-8 configuration and including a radial hole extending from the central core space thereof to the outer periphery thereof is enclosed in a container having a preforated corner portion for feeding material from the winding. The winding is placed within a polygonally-sided insert having opposing sides engaging the outer periphery of the winding and including a feedout tube inserted in the radial hole for feeding the inner end of the material. Opposite sides of the insert engage the inner surfaces of the container with the feedout tube being aligned with the perforated corner portion. The bottom and upper surfaces of the container include intersecting cone sections for supporting the inner windings of the material.
