A generally flat packaging tray for containing an elongated catheter device in an ordered coiled arrangement includes a recessed channel system formed within and including a plurality of spaced generally parallel, level, generally linear channel sections of two different depths joined by a plurality of arcuate channel sections some of which are inclined between the two depths and configured to contain catheter devices of a variety of lengths and french sizes nested therein in a coiled arrangement has an integral retention system of gently curved minor cantilever segments formed in the channel system that cooperate with inherent natural coil resisting resilience in a catheter shaft to benignly retain the catheter in the channel system.
