Safe unboxing Molded Assemblies
Molded Assemblies ship in special boxes
with inserts designed for easy un-coiling.
These often have gloves included to help
keep smudges and fingerprints off the
illumination edge of FloppyFlex.
NEVER pull FloppyFlex out of the box from
the center or twist it backwards. Use the box
as intended. Thread the FloppyFlex end
through the box insert and pull gently to un-
coil.
