Abstract
A dispenser package for holding a stack of nested tapered disposable cups and dispensing them individually. The dispenser package has a generally circular opening in the top wall through which the bottoms of the tapered cups protrude; surrounded by a series of arcuate dispensing jaws interconnected with straight sided segments forming yieldable segments around the periphery of the opening which permit the topmost protruding cup to be pulled through the opening, but which function to restrain the cups immediately below. Slits or knife cuts in the top wall of the dispenser package extend from the opening in the top wall to each of the sidewalls at the mid point of each sidewall to permit loading a stack of cups through the top opening of the dispenser package without tearing of the top wall.
