Abstract:
A secure product dispensing package comprising a cylindrical roll of discrete, substantially flat products formed continuously in a coil for dispensing from the coil, the coil having a predetermined width of substantial dimension and predetermined inner and outer diameters to define an original coil thickness; and a hang card comprising a single layer of resilient, tear resistant substantially flat stock, the hang card defining a pair of transverse elongate slots of substantially equal length and height, and an arbor comprising a single layer of the flat stock and having two ends integral with the hang card positioned between the slots and having a length substantially the same as the length of the slots, the arbor having a height less than the inner diameter of the coil with the coil being rotatably mounted on the arbor with diametrically opposed sides of the coil passing through the slots to permit rotation of the coil over the arbor as products are removed from the coil, the arbor having a slit between the two ends of the coil and along the entire height of the arbor to form two contiguous arbor halves, the slots and arbor being dimensioned in relation to the coil to enable mounting of the coil by deflection of the arbor halves but to substantially prevent removal of the coil from the hang card without tearing the arbor or otherwise defacing the hang card.
