Abstract
A toner cartridge for a xerographic copier, the cartridge having a flexible closure tongue which may be peeled from the cartridge when the same is in inverted position within the copier. The tongue is constructed of a material which has non-directional shear strength characteristics substantially unaffected by folding, and a tear strength substantially greater than the peel strength of the bond between the tongue and the cartridge, so that the tongue does not tear when it is peeled from the cartridge. The surface friction of the tongue material is sufficiently low so that the tongue may be peeled from the cartridge after the cartridge has been positioned so that the tongue is pressed against the periphery of the toner receptacle within the copier.
