Abstract

A packaged food casing article includes a dispensing carton, a roll of casing rotatably supported within the carton, and a strip of splice tape releasably attached to a carton closure flap. The tape as oriented on the flap extends transverse to the casing dispensing direction and is attachable to an end of the casing when effecting a splice to the casing length being dispensed from the carton. The flap maintains the splice tape in a proper orientation during splicing and provides a work surface against which the casing is pressed for effecting the splice.
