A bin loader package for shipping, storing and dispensing cut paper directly into the paper supply bin of a photocopier, printer or other equipment which uses the paper and which has a storage compartment for storing a supply of paper used in the operation of the equipment. The package includes a box enclosure having opposite side walls, opposite end walls, a bottom wall, and a cover or lid, enclosing a stack of paper sheets to protect the paper during shipment, storage and handling. The enclosure is defined by a first member formed from a single blank folded to define the bottom wall and the opposite side and end walls, with the side walls having inturned flaps adhesively attached to the end walls to hold the walls in their erected relationship, defining a wrapper. A second member is folded to define a tray having a bottom wall with a handle at each end. The tray is supported in the box enclosure on the bottom wall of the wrapper and supports the stack of paper. In use, the adhesive attachments are broken so that the side and end walls of the wrapper can be folded down to expose the stack of paper and the tray handles, whereby the tray and stack of paper can be lifted vertically away from the wrapper and deposited onto the elevator platform of the paper supply bin, ready for use of the paper.
