Abstract: A bag for storing and dispensing cord includes a sidewall formed from a pliable sheet of material. The sidewall defines an interior compartment having a central portion defined between two ends. In one embodiment, a resilient ring having sufficient stiffness to maintain the interior compartment in an at least partially uncollapsed shape when the bag lays on its side supports the central portion of the interior compartment. A cord is stored within the interior compartment with one end of the cord protruding through an aperture in the closed end and the other end of the cord protruding from the open end of the compartment. In one embodiment, an end cover attached to the sidewall forms the closed end of the bag.
