Contracts were eventually issued to four (4) manufacturers to produce the First-Aid Packet, metal container, although shortly after the latter two were contracted, the Government refused to allocate any more steel and other alloys for the production of the containers. The Medical Department then worked out new specifications calling for more alternative solutions. In the course of 1943, it was to take a rather radical step by adopting laminated paper and a lead foil wrapper (already used in the food industry). The new container passed every test applied by the Medical Equipment Laboratory at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, proving in use to be more satisfactory than even the original brass container. It was, moreover, less expensive to manufacture. The items were now wrapped in laminated paper, reinforced with aluminum or lead foil, and covered internally with either pliofilm, cellophane, or polyvinyl butyral and for extra protection, the item was then placed inside an appropriate waxed cardboard shell. Its official designation was either Small First-Aid Dressing, U.S. Army Carlisle Model or Packet First-Aid Field Brown Dressing, U.S. Army Carlisle Model (white bandage material replaced by field brown-colored shade in early 1943). It is to be noted that the laminated paper wrappers came in different colors, medium brown, dark brown, dark green, and black.
