The invention is the combination of (i) a self-adhesive bandage having opposed adhesive-coated end portions and a centralized sterile pad, and (ii) a package housing that self-adhesive bandage. The package has a rearward side and a forward side. At least the forward side has a weakened transverse line disposed off-center from the sterile pad portion of the self-adhesive bandage. When the package is pulled axially from gripping locations on opposite sides of the weakened transverse line, the forward side of the package separates at the weakened transverse line, thereby exposing the sterile pad and one adhesive-coated end portion of the self-adhesive bandage.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A combination of a planar substrate and a package for housing the substrate, the substrate having a front side and a back side, the front side comprising a central portion and opposed first and second end portions, the package being elongate and having a longitudinal axis

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A combination of a planar substrate and a package for housing the substrate, the substrate having a front side and a back side, the front side comprising a central portion and opposed first and second end portions, the package being elongate and having a longitudinal axis and opposed first and second distal ends, the package further comprising:(a) a rearward side proximate to the back side of the substrate;(b) a forward side proximate to the front side of the substrate;(c) a forward side weakened transverse line on the forward side, so that pulling on the package along the longitudinal axis from gripping locations on opposite sides of the forward side weakened transverse line causes the forward side to separate at the forward side weakened transverse line; rein the forward side weakened transverse line is disposed off center with respect to the central portion of the front side of the substrate, so that a substantial portion of the central portion is exposed by separating the forward side at the forward side weakened transverse line.
