Abstract
A band blade package that allows removal of the band blade slowly, while at the same time releasing the potential energy of the coiled assembly in a controlled manner within the package and out of harms way. The band blade is placed in the package in a manner such that a loop of the band blade is adjacent to an opening in the packaging. The band blade can be removed by placing a loop of the band blade over a peg on a building wall and grasping both sides of the band blade package. As the package is pulled down, the coiled assembly of blades uncoils within the package and the blades are dispensed.
