Abstract
A plug inserted into the access opening of a tape cartridge to prevent movement of the reel inside the cartridge. Damage to the tape media is thus prevented by contact of the reel with the tape media. The plug may also be used to seal the access opening and eliminate environmental contamination which would otherwise enter therethrough.
