Abstract
A wire coil for packaging wire which wire coil includes a liner, wire coiled about the liner and at least one wire tie which secures the coil of wire to the liner. The liner is made of a strip of flexible material and the two ends of the strip are secured together by an end securing mechanism. Each side of the strip has a tie groove that is substantially aligned with each other along the central axis of the wire coil. Each of the tie grooves receives a portion of the wire tie to secure the wire tie in position on the liner. The ends of the strip can be positioned to partially overlap one another. The wire coil may also include at least one position indicator to define the position of the two ends when connected together, and/or at least one placement slot that is positioned between the two side edges and the two ends of the strip.
