Abstract
A reel (1) of material in tape form (2) wound on a core (3) to form a plurality of turns and provided with an outer end (4) retained on the reel (1) by a retainer, such as a gummed band. The outer end (4) of the material in tape form (2) is weighted relative to the rest of the tape (2), for example by attaching a label (7) to the outer end (4), so that on removing or cutting the retainer (5) the outer end (4) automatically separates from the reel (1) by gravity.
