A container for transporting, storing, and/or paying-out welding wire from a contained wire coil without tangling, and having flexible straps each extending between the lowermost and upper parts of the container wall passing through a second opening of an anti-entangling device and along a path between said wire coil and said wall. The anti-entangling device rests on the top of the wire coil and descends by gravity as the welding wire is paid-out. The anti-entangling device has a first opening through which said wire passes and respective second openings through each of which a flexible strap passes. The second openings are opposingly located in the anti-entangling device loop about the device's first central opening so that the flexible straps are positioned by the second openings to contact the top surface of the wire coil.

Provided is a strap guide including: a first module including a first base, a strap boss formed on the first base and including a first slot through which a strap passes, and at least one protrusion accommodation part located at an outer circumferential portion of the strap boss and including a bore; and a second module having a second base, a second slot formed in the second base, and at least one coupling protrusion located at an outer circumferential portion of the second slot and configured to form a pair with the protrusion accommodation part, wherein the first module and the second module are coupled to form an opening having a single closed surface.
