A tape support shelf extending outwardly from the front dispenser wall of each housing is situated adjacent the slot and is positioned to underly a length of tape when withdrawn from the housing. To aid removal of the tape, the under side of the shelf is provided with a series of spaced, lateral ribs. A spindle is situated within each housing for mounting of the roll of tape.
