Abstract
Abstract A cutter-type box for dispensing packaging film includes means such as a separate insert for rotatably supporting a roll of the film within a rectangular box container having a closeable cover flap or panel. The film is fed outwardly through a transverse slit defined in the top cover for delivery over an edge at which a cutter is arranged. The cutter is supported so that it projects upwardly beyond the top surface of the top cover over which the film is fed so that the film is in a position for being cut by the cutter. The cutter is also supported below the level of the side panel edges so that it will not project outwardly from the container so as to be subject to damage during shipment.
