Abstract

The packaging system includes a thin, flexible bag that is generally small in size and a pre-cut portion of dental floss which is disposed within the bag. The bag has a front wall and a rear wall, sealed together at opposite longitudinal side seams and at a closed lower end. A mouth is formed by the front and rear walls, between the side seams. A slidable sealer is affixed to an upper end of the bag to facilitate repeatable opening and closing of the mouth. The upper end of the bag further includes an aperture defined therein to facilitate display of the packaging system on a wire dispenser.
