Inertia braking payout device and package system

A payout device comprising:

• a carton, wherein the carton includes an opening that provides an egress for elongated flexible material stored within the carton;
• an elongated rotatable cylindrical member disposed within the carton, wherein the elongated rotatable cylindrical member has a circumference around which the elongated flexible material is wound;
• and
• two slots for rotatably supporting the elongated rotatable cylindrical member at opposing ends thereof, wherein each of the two slots has a round shape comprising a payoff position that is larger than the circumference of the elongated rotatable cylindrical member and a braking position that is smaller than the circumference of the elongated rotatable cylindrical member, wherein at least a portion of the elongated rotatable cylindrical member is slidable within each of the two slots between the payoff position and the braking position, wherein the elongated rotatable cylindrical member is rotatable within each of the two slots when in the payoff position for dispensing the elongated flexible material from the opening in the carton, and wherein the payoff position is elevated relative to the braking position.
