Abstract: A pack for arrays of needles has a plate-like carrier with a hinge between its upper and lower sections, and a cover which overlies the front side of the carrier and has upper and lower sections connected to each other by a hinge. The lower sections are permanently bonded to each other around a field of parallel pockets for needles in one of the lower sections, and the upper sections are separably connected to each other to permit pivoting of such upper sections relative to each other in order to expose the needles. The upper sections can be recoupled to each other, and at least those portions of the cover which are adjacent the needles consist of a light-transmitting plastic material.
