Zusammenfassung:	A warning on an amount of welding wire (118) remaining in a package (100) can be implemented with an indicator system integrated within the package (100). The indicator system provides a visual indication on the amount of wire (118) remaining. The visual indication is updated as the wire (118) is dispensed during a welding operation. The indicator system includes one or more sensing elements (120, 122) that engage the welding wire (118) at various locations. When the wire (118) is dispensed, the sensing elements (120, 122) eventually lose engagement and output a corresponding signal. The visual indication is updated based on the signals from the sensing elements (120, 122).
