Abstract:

A bin loader package for shipping, storing and dispensing cut paper directly into the paper supply bin of equipment that uses the paper. The bin loader package comprises a box having opposite side walls, opposite end walls, a top and a bottom. The bottom includes foldable flaps that are foldable inwardly at least partially over the bottom of the box for supporting at least a marginal edge portion of sheets of paper placed in the box. The top includes foldable flaps that are foldable over the top of the box to close the top of the box, and the top wall flaps include structure to facilitate grasping of the top wall flaps to lift the box when it is desired to discharge the paper therefrom. The bottom wall flaps are unsecured to one another and are openable under the weight of paper in the box when the box is lifted, to enable the paper to drop through the open bottom for deposit onto a supporting surface, whereby the paper may be directly deposited from the box into a paper supply bin by simply lifting the box away from the paper. In one form of the invention, the bottom flaps are relatively narrow and do not close the bottom of the box.
