Abstract

Abstract A technique of packaging a web of computer printout paper to facilitate loading the paper in a carrier or support tray and connecting the trailing edge of the web to the leading edge of a succeeding web carried in another tray. The package includes a box which contains the paper web, folded in a zigzag configuration. The box has a cover which, when removed, exposes an end of the pack, the web being folded so that at least the free, trailing end of the web will be exposed when the cover is removed. The exposed trailing end then may be pulled to withdraw a length of the web and the entire package, including the box, may be laid down on the tray. The box then is pulled free to transfer the folded web to the tray and the withdrawn trailing length of the web then may be attached to the leading end of the succeeding web.
