Term for different quantities of blades

[Al Bundy]

The word "tuck" is used commonly around here to describe a multiple of 5 blades but can anyone remember the names for other quantities?

I recall reading something a while back but for the life of me I can't find it now and Google is being very unhelpful...

A “tuck” is a single package, be it of five, seven, or ten blades.

I got 100 GSB blades - 20 tucks on a card.

I also got 100 Personna Med Prep blades in a box.

BIC blades come 20 tucks in a bulk pack.

I have some vintage Schick blades in a dispenser.

Back in the day, I was given a cardboard box of English-made Wilkinson Sword blades. I no longer have the box, but I remember it saying "Case = 50 cartons x 20 dispensers | Ct: 5000". Each plastic dispenser contained 5 blades.

So, Wilkinson used the terms case, carton, and dispenser.

The dispensers looked like this:

Most of the dispensers showed this on the back (some omitted the part about Canada):

100-packs in this type of packaging are often called a "pillar":

I have called them tucks or 5pc dispenser or 10 pc dispenser or 10 pc tuck.
Dispenser is more descriptive, but tuck has been around for some time so we should all know the meaning.

There is also the "saloon pack" which I think are 10 blades per.

pillar = sleeve ?

Box is my generic term for 2000 blades. I have pictures to prove it.

My wife has one term for my less than 200: "Too Many!"
