Abstract: A cassette for light-tightly holding and dispensing a roll of web material, e.g. photographic film, which has a peripheral dispensing slot in its shell for passage of the web therefrom, which slot is formed by generally radially directed re-entrant lips lined with light-sealing strips to seal the slot against penetration by light, the sealing strips being adhered to the mutually facing surfaces of the lips by layers of adhesive on their backsides, preferably a pressure-sensitive adhesive, wherein the innermost edge of each of the adhesive layers is in a radially outwardly retracted position relative to the innermost edge of the associated sealing strip, leaving a short inner marginal portion of the sealing strip free of adhesive and overlying the inner edge of the adhesive layer to conceal and shelter the adhesive edge against possible contact with the exiting web.

Abstract: A daylight loading film sheet package has a stack of film sheets enclosed within a wrapper having front and rear panels covering the front and rear faces of the film stack and projecting side extensions on at least three sides of the panels which are folded into contacting relation and adhered together in close proximity to the corresponding sides of the stack to cover such stack sides. One of the wrapper panels has a sheet-dispensing opening therein with one edge adjacent one stack side which is generally coextensive in length with that stack side, such opening extending from the edge into the panel to permit an outermost film sheet to be accessed and withdrawn from the stack therethrough.
