Abstract
A carrier is provided for a package containing a stack of film sheets enclosed by a bag. The carrier has a first wall positionable on one side of the stack of sheets and a second wall positionable on the opposite side of the stack of sheets. The carrier has an edge wall connected to the first wall and the second wall. The edge wall has an opening at the center portion thereof, and two spaced end portions separated by the opening. The carrier allows the stack of film sheets and the carrier to flex in the area of the opening in the carrier edge wall to reduce the tendency of the sheets to stick together and thereby improve reliability of feeding of the sheets seriatim from the stack.
