I just received my order of target patches but the roll is not threaded. I know if I do it right, they will self dispense. Anyone have a clear set of instructions on how to do this?
Are you referring to the small cardboard box dispensers? If so, I could post a picture of the setup (but wanted to check to make sure I was thinking of the right thing before I went through all that work. ;) )
Here it is. The strip from the roll comes out of the box at the corner but then is held against the side by a tab on the box that closes down over it, causing the strip to make a sharp angle at the corner which is what causes the paster to peel off. Looking at two new boxes I just got, they are larger boxes that don't have that tab, which is key. The new boxes are just regular plain-Jane boxes, so if those are what you have I doubt they can be set up to self dispense.
Yes same box as you have. Thanks for the picture. Was there a piece you had to cut off at that exact spot where the patches come out? I tried that way but that piece I'm talking about was getting in the way. It appears from your pic that you ripped or cut that tab out.
No, I didn't have to cut anything off - they actually came set up that way. But I just looked at the box and noticed those tabs you are referring to are there on the inside just under the box lid- the one on that side is pushed down inside the box flat against the side.
Go to the post office and purchase a small plastic dispenser for a roll of coiled stamps for about a dollar. The entire package easily fits in the dispenser, it is very small, and feeds the pasters through a small slot.
