Abstract
A package has a light tight pouch that encloses a stack of rectangular sheets of film. The package can be loaded in either of two different kinds of equipment which have means for removing the pouch from the film stack so that the sheets can be fed seriatim from the stack. One kind of equipment requires the package to be oriented so that the pouch can be removed from a narrow side of the package while the second kind of equipment requires the package to be loaded therein so that the pouch can be removed from a long side of the stack of film. The pouch has flaps extending from one long side and one narrow side of the package, and the flaps are engageable by the pouch removing mechanism in the different kinds of equipment.
