Abstract
A fastener package comprising a carrier tape having at equally spaced intervals throughgoing holes in each of which there is received from one side of the tape a screw with a head and a threaded shank, with the under side of the screw head resting against said one side of the tape. The holes are so designed and dimensioned in relation to the dimensions of the screw shanks that, on introduction of the screw shanks into the holes, the tape edges around the holes are deformed into lips which retainingly engage with the screw threads. Radial slots may facilitate the development of the retaining lips, and the slots may be long enough to permit deflection of the lips to let through the screw heads. Adjacent longitudinal slots may be so closely spaced that the tape is split up in two tape portions as the screws are driven home, through the tape.
